Edit: It occurs to me I should've given you some way of sending me your entries. You can
The Jump Leads book is, well, it's delayed. I was originally aiming for an early-September release, but I'm waiting on a couple of elements before the book goes to print. Once I have those, and once I've laid out the front and back covers in InDesign, the book is essentially ready to roll out. I'm anticipating a mid-October release. Hopefully.
In the meantime, though, why not have a little fun?
I occasionally get emails asking me why I haven't shopped around that pilot script for the Jump Leads TV series to American networks. I've considered it, but I think that Jump Leads would lose something in the Americanisation process.
Which leads me to wonder... what would the dialogue for Jump Leads be like if all the Britishness were stripped out and were replaced with Americanisms? Well with your help, we can soon find out - For the chance to win a copy of Jump Leads Vol.1: Tales From The Flurry, pick your favourite Jump Leads page and Americanise the dialogue - how you do this is completely up to you - and [mail=ben@jump-leads.com?subject=">drop your entry to me in an email. The best three entries will win copies of the book. Which, I think you'll agree, is not bad at all.

Well first, Llewellyn would be drawn/cast as Samuel Jackson so we had have to deal with him (bleeping) complaining about every (bleeping) thing that went (bleeping) wrong. So, he'd be a big muscly black person who'd beat up Meaney all the time.
Meaney would most likely be drawn/cast as Dana Cook, cuz you know he's so funny. Well, movie producers would likes us to think that.
Instead of a 'boring' show about two guys who misjump from dimension to dimension (execs wouldn't like it because it would sound too much like Sliders and the prime marketing sheeple, I mean, audience, probably wouldn't understand what was going on), Llewellyn and Meaney would be jumping around various parts of history using big guns to kill all the bad guys in the world, thus establishing democracy as a beacon of light to everyone at every time.
And the ship would be jet black with a red laser eye that moves back and forth and talked to the duo with Val Kilmer's voice, and it sometimes transforms into a badass American car. Like a Honda Civic.
And either we'd put in a female jump lead that drops her shirt at any sign of trouble or the duo always runs into a female cameo who drops her shirt at the first sign of trouble.
And the two would also have to pick up a 'pet' along the way. Think Boxie from Battlestar Galactica (the Original) with that stinking robot dog.
On second thought, keep Jump Leeds British, thank you very much.
