Writer
Thanks for stopping by. This site is a quick look at who I am, what I write, and the worlds I build. Browse around, check out the projects, and make yourself at home — the stories are just getting started.

​J.P. Linde’s love of storytelling began unexpectedly in the sixth grade, when he convinced his male classmates that Elizabeth Montgomery — yes, the star of Bewitched — was his girlfriend. From that moment on, he’s been spinning stories people actually believe.
He’s performed in summer-stock productions of Our Town, Hot L Baltimore, and The Misanthrope — and, to everyone’s relief, managed to avoid appearing nude in Hair. One of the founding members of Portland, Oregon’s comedy scene, J.P. created the sketch and improv group No Prisoners and later took the stage with his one-person show, Casually Insane. He went on to perform stand-up professionally, making his national television debut on Showtime’s Comedy Club Network.
His original musical, Wild Space A Go Go, premiered in Portland at The Embers in 2011. Since then, he’s written five novels, including his latest, The Last Argonaut, coming soon from Reese Unlimited. On the screen side, he co-wrote the horror cult classic Axe to Grind and has collaborated with some of the top producers in film and television.

Coming just in time for Halloween:

The Last Argonaut
by
J,P. Linde

​​When Nazi occultists awaken the vengeful spirit of Medea in their hunt for the Golden Fleece, the battle for world domination leaps from ancient tombs to wartime America. Standing in their way is The Peregrine—Atlanta’s masked avenger—and his daring wife, Evelyn. Together they’ll face dark magic, mystic assassins, and a prophecy written in blood. From the mean  streets of Atlanta to deep below Mount Olympus, The Last Argonaut hurtles through myth and history toward an explosive showdown between gods, monsters, and men—and the one hero destined to stand against them all.

Fool's Gold 

The new novel from J.P. Linde
Picture
"Not only is J.P. Linde's FOOL's GOLD a barn burner of a snow western adventure tale, it's also a love story. Linde clearly loves his genre, loves creating within it and loves to keep his readers on the edge of their seat."    Richard Melo (Author of Happy Talk and Jokerman 8).

"J.P. Linde has successfully delivered a novel that is both a loving homage to the pulp fiction genre and a hilarious satire of it. "

Doc Talk

​Hello all!  I thought we would take a break from me bitching about current events and go over some notable documentaries that are currently streaming. Three out of the four are great and worth a look. Without further ado, let’s get started
 
Belushi (Showtime) Fair and balanced reporting of the life and tragic death of a major comedic performer and star by the people who knew him best. From his early childhood in Wheaton IL to his last tragic days alone at the Chateau Marmont, this accounting never holds back at a career that made such a major impression in television and movie audiences the late 70’s. Definitely worth checking out.
 
The Go Gos (Showtime) A documentary for all those who doubt the contribution of this groundbreaking female band. Even though their contribution to the overall music scene was short lived, their influence continues to live on. This film follows the humble beginnings of these punk wannabes as they form their own band and move from opening act to headliners in what the industry would consider record time.  As with Belushi we do get a fairly good look what sudden fame, drugs and infighting can do to a career. Come for the music, stay for some glances at truly sad examples of plastic surgery.
 
Murder on Middle Beach (HBO). Maddening in that it could have been a bit shorter and that we never truly uncover the true killer of Barbie Beach, instead spending the overall length of episodes merely muddying up the waters of what truly happened. Was it the father? Was it the sister of the victim? Was it the daughter? As an audience we deserve more that, we may never know. What is, however, truly inspiring about this doc, is the work of the documentarian, Madison Hamburg, as the sifts through all of the maddening scenarios of what could have happened. 
 
Fear City: New York vs The Mafia. Finally, a documentary where Rudy Guiliani does not have his hands in his pants. This is an extremely interesting recounting of the fight of a major city to uncover the tentacles to the major crime families and how they were initially brought to justice through wiretapping and the brave men and women of the justice department who live to talk about themselves. Again, easily two episodes and thirty minutes too long.
 
See you all next week!
