Heat Wave Sales Surge – Updated
Posted on October 13, 2009 | 6 Comments

The Heat Wave novel written by the Castle series lead character Richard Castle made the New York Times Bestseller list early this month after the first week of its release.

In the last couple of days Heat Wave has also shot up the Amazon Bestseller List where it is currently in eighth position for books.  According to Amazon, just two days ago Heat Wave didn’t even rank in the top 100.

UPDATE: Heat Wave reached #7 on Amazon and has also reached #4 on Barns & Noble Bestsellers list.

This Monday’s episode of Castle “Fool Me Once” made significant mention of the novel including reference to a saucy chapter featuring Nikki Heat and Jameson Rook the two characters  based on Beckett and Castle.  The book was also advertised at the end of the episode bringing it to the attention of viewers who were not previously aware the book existed in the real world.

The high sales of Heat Wave and particuarly the inclusion of the novel in the New York Times Bestseller list are sure to bring a lot of positive buzz  to Castle and hopefully this will be reflected in the ratings for future episodes.  The Amazon Bestseller List is updated frequently and the New York Times Bestseller will be updated again on Friday.

   I just bought the book at Barnes and Noble. This should add to the fun of this great series. The series brings to mind some old classics like the Nick and Nora Charles movies. The HD broadcasts are great and the use of color in the show is very pleasing to the eye. Keep it up!!

   I had to laugh at Melanie’s comment. I bought the book for my son (okay, I really bought it for me, but I’m giving it to him as a gift. Guilt-free shopping! ), and as soon as I heard that reference, I dug it out of its hiding place. Now, I’m wondering if I can read the book without cracking the binding. Then again, maybe I’ll just start reading it and get him something else. LOL! Keep up the great work on the show! The family loves it.
