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:

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.”
And in November

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).
Also by J.P. and available on

"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. "

Thanksgiving: The hub to the Holidays

11/23/2019

​The holiday season is officially here and what better way to celebrate than gathering the entire family around the hearth and reading from J.P. Linde’s epic adventure, SON OF RAVAGE. Available at Amazon and Independent Book Stores everywhere, ring out the same lame old adventure stories and celebrate the new with Barry and his friends, Doc, Brain, Face and Beast. There are only 32 days until Christmas, so consider yourself warned.
 
How is that for selfless promotion? Just remember, purchasing your copy ensures that jplinde.com remains opens for business. 
 
After struggling to find a suitable subject for this week before Thanksgiving, I thought I would settle on catching up on some odds and ends. 
 
Books: Just finished James Baldwins excellent 1956 novel “Giovanni’s Room” and am now moving on to “Station 11” by Emily St. John Mandel. I will keep you posted on the latter. But,if you love traveling bands of Shakespearean actors in an apocalyptic world, you will love this! There is so much good television out there, I don’t know where to start. I have to say that I came to “Fleabag” late in the game but think it is two seasons of the best series on television. We got final season of “The Good Place,” along with “Riverdale,” “Jack Ryan,” Season 2, “The Deuce” Season Three, “The Kominski Method,” “The Crown,” and list goes on and on, and on…  We may never get caught up. Favorite movies so far this year, is “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” “Captain Marvel” and “Booksmart.” I know. I know.  I have not seen “The Joker” yet but will shortly. I promise. Least favorite eh, uh, it is all such a blur, but going with “Late Night” just because.

Oh, along with “WTF with Mark Maron,” I have a few new favorite podcasts that I listen to. “My Favorite Murder” hosted by hosted by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark. How can you not love a podcast where their catchphrase is “Stay sexy and don’t get murdered.” True crime has never been so much fun.  The other podcast is “You Must Remember This, hosted by Karina Longworth. Karina’s bag is true stories from the golden days of Hollywood and her podcasts are truly addictive. Finally, the mighty podcast that could, “Stop Me if You’ve Heard This,” with Pacific Northwest comedy legends Susan Rice and Art Krug. Join them for their tales from their years on the road and their fantastic interviews with comedian guests such as Brad Upton, Geoff Young, Tom McTigue, Cathy Ladman, Dwight Slade, and on and on and on. Oh, and don’t forget me. Great stuff! 
 
Along with the sequel to Barry and his friends, have several writing projects in the pipe. I should be able to share one or two of them with you very shortly. Due to severe winds, PG&E is cutting the power again for all of us lucky enough to live in Sonoma County. By the time this is up, the threat of fire will be over. Just hoping that everyone gets through it. Who said there is no climate change? Oh, yeah, right, the oil, coat industries and most of the new Republican Party.
 
Don’t be afraid to leave a comment or thought or question on the site. We welcome all. Even climate deniers. The only unwelcome guests are the mysterious Russian bots that only seem to be interested in erectile dysfunction.

​Have a great week!
