​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).
And the book that started it all!

"This book is fun, funny, action-packed, heartfelt, emotional and expertly written. I cannot recommend it enough."

Somebody looked at my Linkedin profile and my STARmeter was showing

“Business Owner in the Entertainment Industry from Los Angeles Metropolitan Area Viewed My Profile.”
 
Just for the record, I always assume the best possible scenario when something like this happens. Maybe Steven Spielberg read my blog a few weeks back disparaging West Side Story and wants to sue me. Hey, stranger things have happened.
 
But what does a LinkedIn notification that someone has viewed your profile even mean? Should I be excited or regelate this to the importance of my STARmeter rating on IMDB Pro? 
 
(Not that anyone cares, but I do happen to have a 125,731 uptick from last week. But what does that even mean? I wish I knew. If I did, I would fill you all in.)
 
Re: STARmeter
 
According to Goggle STARmeter rating is based on:
 
STARmeter, MOVIEmeter, and COMPANYmeter are rankings of every person, title and company in IMDb and only available on IMDbPro. STARmeter, MOVIEmeter, and COMPANYmeter provide industry professionals with insights into the popularity of film and television productions as well as the people and companies that make them.
 
If I could hazard a guess, I would say that my personal STARmeter is up because I attach it to all show business type emails. Any job that I am applying for, contains the link. So this would more than likely have something to do with it.
 
Now, as for the LinkedIn visit from an industry professional in the Los Angeles Metropolitan area, your guess is as good as mine. Hopefully it is not a stalker and someone who is actually interested in my work. Let’s hope so.
 
But I think we can all agree that while not absolutely necessary, a LinkedIn profile and a IMDB Pro can be helpful in getting your name out there. And you have to admit, it certainly beats standing out in front of Paramount front gate with a cardboard sign that reads, “Screenwriter Needs Work.”  Although, to be honest, I have heard of that working as well.
 
Oh, and be sure to drop by my IMDB Pro Page. My STARmeter will thank you.
