Jon Lindstrom splits his time between daytime worlds, moving from General Hospital to Beyond the Gates with the ease of someone who knows how to travel light. Somewhere along the way, he also built a second career as a novelist, the kind that doesn’t feel like a vanity side project. This week, that writing life stepped into the spotlight, thanks to a social media post that caught even Lindstrom off guard.

A Beyond the Gates favorite expands his creative world

On Instagram, Lindstrom wrote, “I actually didn't expect this today, but People.com did a Cover Reveal for PRESSURE POINT, the 3rd book in the Michael Walker Nat'l Parks action series that creator @jeffayersbooks invited me to co-write with him. PEOPLE dubbed it ‘James Bond goes to Yellowstone,’ which I'd say is spot on. We had a blast writing it. I hope you'll have a great time reading it. It comes out this Fall! LINK IN BIO. @lizaroyceassoc #PressurePoint #ThrillerBooks #CrimeFiction #CraterLake #ReadersOfInstagram #AgentMichaelWalker.”

The book is the latest chapter in the Michael Walker National Parks series, co-written with Jeff Ayers under the A. J. Landau name. It drops Walker into another high-pressure situation, this time shaped by environmental danger and a location that refuses to stay in the background. There’s a volcanic eruption at Crater Lake, which propels the story forward with no time for the reader to catch their breath.

The novel series has taken readers by storm, and Lindstrom seems very happy to be right in the thick of it. He doesn’t offer any kind of hype or sales pitch, just shares his pride in the work and appreciation for the opportunity.

“We can’t wait to share with readers our reverence for the national parks, set to a pulse-pounding adventure for Special Agent Michael Walker,” A. J. Landau tells PEOPLE in a statement, reiterating the Bond/Yellowstone connection.

The response was immediate and enthusiastic as former GH co-star Anthony Montgomery (ex-Andre) wrote, “Congratulations, Jon!! Keep shining, Brother!!” Another GH alum, Michael Easton (ex-Finn), added, “Congrats, Jon. Look forward to reading.”

Fans piled on with their own excitement. @reporterestes posted, “Congrats! Love this series!” while @pmewriter called it “a definite ‘must read.’ ” Others kept it short and joyful, like @authorcarmela’s “So cool! Congrats!” and @may_cobb’s “Love!”

What comes through is momentum. Lindstrom isn’t pausing one career to dabble in another. He’s building both at once, and the audience is clearly happy to follow him wherever he goes next.

Beyond the Gates can be seen weekdays on CBS and Paramount+.

General Hospital can be seen weekdays on ABC and Hulu.
