My latest heroine...

This is the latest inspiration for my Christmas heroine - Cassidy Rae.  Isn't she gorgeous?  And what about that dress?  You all know I'm a girl that likes red......

I have to admit to not being a particularly big fan of Castle when it first started.  I could take it or leave it.  But it's kind of grown on me.  Like a disease.

And one of the reasons I like it so much now is because of Kate Beckett.  Apart from the fact the woman is extraordinarily beautiful, there are lots of personality traits about her I find intriguing.

There's the obvious - she's smart, she's sassy and she can take care of herself.  But there is also a hint of vulnerability about her.  And a huge lack of ability to actually say how she feels.

So when I was looking for inspiration for my character Cassidy, a nurse in a Glasgow hospital, I found it all wrapped up in Kate Beckett.

I'm at just over 20,000 words so far and taking a little time out this week to make my hero a little nastier.  I wonder who I'll find for inspiration for him??
