In These Stones Horizons Sing

You know, I sort of miss the whole fighting crime and thwarting villains thing we had going, and I really miss Alexis, but Cardiff isn't so bad. On the plus side, my first novel in the Nikki Heat series is finished. I'm working on getting it published even as I type this. It went in a different direction than I originally intended, but I'm pleased with the results.

Kate, you want to read it? You were my muse, after all.

You know, Beckett, you can stop blaming this on me. While this is, admittedly, not the first time I've gone to sleep in one city...or country...and woke up in another, I've never picked Wales, and I wouldn't kidnap you. I mean, I'm flattered you think I'm capable of that, but it really isn't my fault. Besides, the crazy nice people who got us settled into our new digs have explained all about the handy rift in space and time. Maybe I can throw something like that into the Nikki Heat books. Hmm... So, if you could please stop shouting at me whenever you see me, that would be great.

And for the record, that shoe hurt. So glad they took your gun. Oh, so glad.

For the rest of you, I'm Richard Castle. It really is a pleasure.
