J.P. Linde
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.

Where laughter meets terror, one story at a time.  Tales From the Chair!  The new comedy/horror anthology by J.P. Linde.  
​

“Wry, weird, and uncomfortably human. Linde’s chair creaks under the weight of our collective nightmares.”

From Reese Unlimited
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.

"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).

Anyone who visits this site knows that on the rare occasions when the muse takes a much-needed vacation, I will either pawn this space over to another writer, compose a list, or write a review or two.
 
This is your lucky day because I have three movies worth talking about today.
 
 
Bank of Dave (Rory Kinnear, Joel Fry, directed by Chris Foggin, written by Piers Ashworth):  Based on a true story, this is the feel-good film of 2024, a reminder of what we are capable of once we put our minds to something. Funny, warm, and very much worth your time. (Added bonus: Rory Kinnear singing with AC/DC!)
 
 
American Fiction (Jeffrey Wright, written and directed by Cord Jefferson) We are six months into the year, and I am already calling it the best picture of the year. Intelligent, challenging, witty, and a triumphant performance by Mr. Wright
 
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (Eddie Murphy, directed by Mark Molloy and written by a few guys):  Eddie Murphy’s return as Axel F is a welcome addition to our summer. He looks good, his timing is great, and while the rest of the movie fails to live up to Eddie’s performance, it is still a solid B. Where it fails mostly in the pedestrian directing of some of the bigger action set pieces. But, hey, it was great to see Axel and the old gang together again.
 
Okay, I am exhausted.
