[Castle is being interviewed on television]
Brooke : Gruesome murders, chills and thrills, it's what author Richard Castle is known for. And he's delivered yet again with two new books, "Wild Storm" and "Raging Heat". Thank you for joining us this morning.
Richard Castle : My pleasure.
Brooke : But perhaps the bigger mystery is the one that surrounds you. Your disappearance made national headlines. Months later, you were found in a dinghy, at sea, yet you claim to have no memory of where you'd been or how you got there.
Richard Castle : Yeah, I know it, uh, it sounds crazy, even to me, and, uh, we're still looking for answers.
Brooke : Well, your critics seem to have some. It's no secret your last book, "Wild Storms", slipped off the best-seller list. Isn't the most logical explanation that this is all a publicity stunt? A way to make headlines to drum up book sales?
Richard Castle : I assure you, Brooke, it was no publicity stunt. I would never do that to my family or my fiancée.
Brooke : Speaking of your fiancée, you vanished just moments before your wedding. What do you say to fans who chalk your disappearance up to cold feet?
Richard Castle : Well, I would say that they don't know what they're talking about.
Brooke : So, the wedding's still on?
Richard Castle : Well, we've been through a very tough experience, and we're still trying to make sense of everything, actually. And I-I actually just, uh I... I came here to talk about my books.
Brooke : And if this were one of your books, Mr. Castle, wouldn't you find the plot a little hard to swallow? I mean, amnesia? Really?
Richard Castle : Well, this isn't a novel, Brooke. This actually happened. And no one wants the truth more than I do. And I can prove it.
[to camera]
Richard Castle : I'm offering a reward. $250,000 to anyone who can give me verifiable proof as to where I was and exactly what I was doing during the two months I was missing.
