Paige Ternerhide bio
 Author has written 54 stories for Castle. I love reading fanfics. Now I am loving writing my own. If you read mine, I hope you enjoy them! My motto is: Death is not the opposite of life. Death is the opposite of birth. Life is what you make of yourself between the two. I plan to make myself a writer. I love having this creative outlet to use to improve my story development and writing styles. Critique me if you want, good or bad. The only way for me to grow as a writer is to learn what works and what doesn't. I'm pretty easily inspired, but I'm always up for suggestions and requests. I love a challenge, and I pride myself on being able to write about virtually anything. If there is a story you'd like to see written, send me a message.

The Wall by kate-hi reviews
A jolt of adrenaline raced through her suddenly, singing through her veins and thrumming in her muscles, causing the corner of her lips to tilt upward until she was grinning. Even all alone in her kitchen, containing her excitement was impossible. Oneshot.

A Push in the Right Direction reviews
Castle and Beckett need to decide who they are as a couple, and what that means. And sometimes the best way to move forward, is to look back. *The idea for this came from some behind the scenes pictures for the finale and some things said by Marlowe and Co., so there are some slightly spoilery things. It is set at the end of the season finale.*

A Titular Tale reviews
What you have here is a fic like no other. This story is a false memoir of a pretend life. In the story I have used all 86 Castle episode titles *seasons 1-4 plus the currently released titles of the first five episode of season 5*. See if you can find them all as you enjoy the farcical account of a fictional autobiography.
