Desperate Derelicthide bio
 Author has written 9 stories for Castle, and Librarians, 2014. I am a big believer in the Castle universe. Humor, Romance, Mystery/Suspense, and Intriguing Characters are the recipe for success. Add to the mix: Andrew Marlowe doesn't 'dumb it down' for the masses; allusions to outstanding fiction, science fiction, and literature; and a ton of 'in-jokes'. What's not to love? I live in Ohio, have a family I am crazy about, and enjoy a lot of extra curricular activities. I am entranced with this show. - Desperate Derelict |
