​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.

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
"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).

Star Trek: PP (Paramount Plus Shows Ranked)

6/25/2022

Okay, so I have watched all of them. What can I say other than I am an unapologetic Trekker. In offer of proof, I testify that I have seen Star Trek: The Motion Picture more than any one person, anywhere, living, or dead. And I dare you to prove me wrong.
 
Now, just to be clear, none the series I have ranked here are pre–Paramount BP (Before Plus). As much as I would love to talk about the real relationship between Miles O’ Brien and Dr. Julien Bashir, we will leave that for another day. 
 
Note: Please keep in mind, that generally I like all these shows. It’s just that some of them I love more than others. And, as much as I want to see an animated Kate Mulgrew teaching us life lessons like a holographic librarian, I neglected to include ST: Prodigy.
 
5. ST: Discovery
 
First two seasons while sometimes uneven provide a fun mix of adventure, nostalgia, and original storytelling. Once the show jumps ahead into the future, it seems to lose its way.  
 
4. ST: Lower Decks
 
An animated half hour comedy series based on the adventures of lower deck crewmembers is a great idea. The voice actors are suburb and carry off their assignments with a palatable glee. Good trek is funniest when the humor is not forced. In animation, things need to be a bit bigger, more exaggerated and I’m not entirely sure it works. 
 
3. ST: Short Treks
 
I am a huge fan of this show. The easily digestible storytelling is sometimes the hardest, but these writers make it look so easy. Some standout episodes to me are Q & A, featuring Spock’s first day on the Enterprise and Ephraim and Dot which takes us on a delightful tour of Star Trek Canon.
 
2. ST: Picard
 
This number two slot is well deserved. And it moved here solely based on season two. I do not want to give away any spoilers, but the last episode is a tear-jerker and one of the finest episodes ever written for any Star Trek series. Bravo!
 
 
Drum Roll!
 
ST: Strange New Worlds
 
Very respectful of Canon but not afraid to take a chance or two. A throwback to all the things that make Star Trek great. We are not even through with the first season and there has not been an episode that I have not loved. Too many standout performances to mention. Anson Mount’s Pike is incredible, as well as Celia Rose Gooding as Uhura and Jess Bush bringing so many new dimensions into the life of Christine Chapel.  Enjoy Episode 8 (The Elysian Kingdom)! Both hilarious and heartwarming. 
 
Live long and prosper.
