​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.

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
"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).

News From the Front

8/18/2023

Having just spoken to the troops on the front lines and the mixer at a local brew pub, I can tell you that overall morale is good. The WGA and their partners at SAG/AFTA will win this battle. And I can tell you why:
 
They are right!
 
I arrived at Disney Studios in Burbank about an hour early and forded the first Rubicon quickly: Finding a place to park. 
 
Buoyed by my success, I promptly signed in at the table and had a quick chat with Jake.  100-plus days, and Jake’s mood remained friendly yet determined. Waiting for others, I grabbed a sign and stationed myself at one end of the entrance. Several supportive honks later, I received my first drive-by heckle. 
 
“Get back to work!”
 
I only wish it was that easy but appreciated the support. At five minutes till nine, I began my vigil, cocking my sign over my shoulder for my first trip around the studio. Like Joshua bringing down the walls of Jericho, I was going to bring the entire Mouse House down to its knees. 
 
Fifteen-plus minutes later, I had completed my first trip. I celebrated with some hydration and found that reinforcements had arrived. Now, I was part of something, and we headed around for a second time. 
 
Precisely halfway through the second trip, SAG/AFTRA had arrived at the south entrance, the LOTR elves to the WGA dwarves. Happy, singing, chanting, they it was like temporarily stepping into a fleeting Lothlorien that lasted less than a block. Still, the captains shouted their encouragement and showered me with gifts of boxes of water and candy. 
 
Completing my second trip, I hydrated again, stopping briefly in the shade to enjoy the antics of the skateboarding Mandalorian and the actor who voices Donald Duck before taking my third trip. 
 
Kids had arrived, along with dogs and bicyclists with sound systems. It was Ace in the Hole without a guy dying in the cave, and the overall atmosphere had risen along with the temperature. 
 
Team Captains from both unions urged hydration, and with the temperature rising above eighty degrees, I gladly took them up on the offer. Each half-lap was celebrated by more and more water, and as quickly it was consumed, seep out of my skin. 
 
“Pizza has arrived.” 
 
Like orange slices handed out to runners at a marathon, “za” was handed out to strikers. The other free goodies deployed soft-serve ice cream, iced coffee, and shaved ice.  
 
Before 11:30, I had closed all three rings on my Apple watch and had the pulsating sore feet to prove it. Thank goodness for orthopedic shoes. 
 
But seriously, folks:
 
Kudos to the men and women from both unions who do their part daily, weekly, and even monthly. We owe them a debt. These people all know what is at stake and are more than willing to do their part to ensure a fair agreement. 
 
A decent livelihood is at stake here. Both Unions know this and need you to know it as well.
