<p>Dan Brown, huh. Wow. Gotta say that surprised me too.</p>
<p>I read the first one HEAT WAVE and did enjoy it quite a bit.</p>
<p>And you have to give them credit, the interweaving of the books and graphic novels with the show is sheer brilliance, IMO. I heard (not sure if its true or not) they even had Nathan do a book tour for the first one.</p>

<p>I can just about guarantee that Connelly and Patterson don't have any hand in the books. They are invited down as guests by the producers who want to lend a level of authenticity to Castle's role as super author. Connelly told me he didn't even write his own lines that he speaks on the show (but he did love the lines).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I doubt Nathan writes. He seems to spend his spare time Twittering about charity events and his travels.</p>

<p>The Derrick Storm comic I read (currently #1 at Amazon in graphic novels) was written by Brian Michael Bendis and Kelly Sue Deconnick. Kelly is a Marvel comic author, and Brian is an Eisner Award winning comic author. If that is any indication it is likely that they will get professional thriller ghosts.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh. Just did some digging and found out that it is Dan Brown doing the writing.</p>

The books are kinda fun, in that they're very much like watching an episode of the show. They do feel like works-for-hire, but I don't know enough to tell you which author might have done them.

I think Connelly & Patterson must have a hand in producing the books -- why else would they be regular characters on a TV series? Maybe Nathan Fillion writes them (his parents were English teachers, it could happen), and Connelly & Patterson edit. Or whoever writes the show's scripts. Maybe even somebody in the PR department. I haven't read any of them so I can't take a guess based on writing style. Has anyone actually tried to read one of the books? I honestly can't imagine myself…

I honestly can't imagine myself taking them very seriously, but who knows? Maybe they're good.
