Author has written 2 stories for Castle.

I am new to fan fiction in general, didn't even know they existed (I know right?!) my husband probably wishes I had never discovered them because now I love reading them and have now begun to write my own! I have always loved creative writing so am really enjoying my Castle fanfics! I love Castle, great characters and plot etc., I cant really see myself writing fics for any other TV show or anything, but who knows.

I married my high school sweetheart when we were 20, and have been married for 18 months now! He is lovely and supportive and puts up with my demanding of his time in reading my fanfics before I post them because I am paranoid and have to run everything past him first in case its not very good lol (though he probably wouldn't tell me if they weren't, which is why I need all you guys to review my chapters!). My darling husband doesn't even really like Castle, 'GASP' (wish I had known that before the wedding) so he really is great for putting up with all my idea throwing and Castle talk!

Well thanks for taking the time to learn a little about me! Please read my stories and PLEASE leave a review so I can further develop and better my writing!

Much Love, Ash :)

Inside Out by J.D. Castle reviews
Well, I started this bit post CountDown, but really it spoils Lucky Stiff. It's my first Castle fanfic. What got me thinking about it was Beckett. Beckett seems quite good at playing a bad girl...a series of loosely connected one-shots... Definitely M.
