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.

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).

The Gun Barrel

​Welcome back!
 
Trust you are all having a lovely Fall. To tell the truth, reliving the whole Wiley Bowman escapade on jplinde.com nearly took it all out of me. Luckily, a nice writing check came in and I feel a little bit better about this whole writing thing.
 
With that in mind, I think it’s high time we celebrate and clear our little blog pallet of Willy Bowman with one of my signature top five lists. What do you say? You up for it? Great. Then let’s get started.
 
Top Five Hair Products for Thinning and Receding Hair. And, here we go…
 
Eh, maybe I should pick something a little closer to our theme here at jplinde.com. Did you know that we had a theme? I am just not entirely sure of what it is but… Okay, here we go.

Top Five Hairstyles for the late Peter Lawford. 


Picture
Okay, it's not that great a list. Besides, I think there were only two hairstyles for the part time actor and crime scene spoiler (with or without cigarette).

Okay, here we go, I think I got it. TOP JAMES BOND MOVIE GUN BARRELS.
 
5. Believe it or not, the worst gun barrel sequences were by one of my favorite Bonds, Sean Connery. Connery took control of the sequence starting in “Thunderball” and finished up with “Diamonds are Forever.” It may even be the same sequence used for all three films. In my mind, the wobbly back leg spoils it.

Picture
Bob Simmons. The very first gun barrel performer was a stunt man and, while doing a great job, does not really match the stature of the first actor to inhabit role. Besides, it appears he is shooting up and away from the opposing weapon.  So, for all practical purposes, 007 would no longer be alive. ​ 

Picture
​3. Roger Moore (suit only). I enjoy the early Roger Moore gun barrels before he decided to change into a dinner jacket. It is a shame that he never really fired the gun in either sequence as the actor had a habit of closing his eyes whenever he pulled the trigger.
Picture
​2. Daniel Craig. Always the bad ass. From “Casino Royale” to “Spectre,” Craig has delivered a consistent gun barrel that oozed both confidence and a familiarity with his weapon. The best of the lot is his first in the pre title sequence of Casino.
 
Picture
​Drumroll please. And the number one gun barrel sequence, from an Eon Production of a James Bond movie, goes to George Lazenby in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service!  Mixing it up a bit by going down on one knee, this oft belittled Bond not only happens to appear in the best movie of the entire series but executes the signature sequence with both bravado and swagger, two trademarks of a perfect Bond.
Picture
​Okay, I think our collective pallets have been cleansed. We will be back in the coming weeks with some new news, interviews and maybe even a list or two. I am currently working on a beauty, Top 3 “Pitch Perfect” movies and why. Can’t wait.
