Whodunnit? Oh yeah, it was me.

Codename Sherlock Holmes in Fantasy Land (SHIFL, henceforth) is the first book I’ve ever written that follows a kind of “whodunnit” theme. I’ve worked on other projects that had mysteries, of course, but they were usually small things and they weren’t very hard to keep track of. With SHIFL I’ve got a crime within a crime to the point that I’m making notes constantly and I sort of feel like the car in Inception during the second half of the movie where it’s driving off of a bridge for twenty minutes in slow-motion.

What I’m saying is this: I could really use some kind of murder board like you see in cop procedural shows all the time.

And maybe that was all just a shameless attempt to post a photo from Castle because the season finale aired on Monday and I already miss it, but that’s okay!

I really could use a huge whiteboard to keep all of my facts straight. And if Nathan Fillion wanted to come along in Castle persona and help me figure out the plot points, well, that would be all right, too.
