Since it was hot off the press less than a month ago Richard Castle’s “Heat Wave”, the novel based on Detective Kate Beckett from the TV series Castle, has continued to rise above all expectations. In many online stores “Heat Wave” has been so hot that it’s now on back order and deliveries are expected to take a couple of weeks.
Two weeks ago “Heat Wave” was listed on the New York Times Bestseller list for Hard Cover Fiction at #26 and last week it dropped back to #28. The NYT Bestseller list is calculated on sales figures from two weeks prior. Two weeks ago, “Heat Wave” featured prominently in the Castle episode “Fool Me Once” showing Beckett being caught by Castle as she secretly searches the pages for the hot and sweaty “sex scene”. Castle points out that it’s on page 105 (yes, it really is). After the episode aired, ABC played an advertisement for the novel, bringing it to the attention of many viewers who were previously unaware that the real book actually existed.
Sales for the book immediately started to rise and “Heat Wave” soared from more than 200 on the Amazon Bestseller List 
to 8th position! This rise has also been reflected on the NYT Bestseller list with an impressive increase from #28 to #11. It is entirely possible that by next week “Heat Wave” will have made it into the top 10, an amazing achievement for novel written by a fictional character!
PS. No more puns, I promise.

Last week we announced that Australia’s channel Seven would be airing season 2 of Castle from this Sunday, Oct 18.
This was welcome news to Australian fans who believed season 2 would not be aired until some time in 2010. Last season there was no information about Castle on the Channel Seven website but this season they’ve given Castle its own page that includes information about the upcoming episode and a video viewer where Australian residents can now watch the entire final episode of season 1. The main site is also running a poll that features Castle and Seven mentioned the news of the season return and the new webpage in a recent newsletter.
