It was announced recently that Castle’s fictional character Richard Castle is releasing a real-life book in September but now Rick has joined the social media network Twitter. Twitter allows users to post short messages updating their followers on what they’re currently doing. Rick Castle was introduce to Twitter by his daughter Alexis with the following post: “Hey this is Alexis — just set this account up for my dad — he’s a little unsure about it. Tweet him so he feels welcome!”.
