Now this looks cool (cooler than Tom Cruise's effort anyway)...

Pax Britannia concept sketches
I've been meaning to show these off for a while but what with one thing and another.... Well, you know how it is.
Anyway, a while back Simon Parr (a.k.a. Pye Parr) produced some concept sketches for Pax Britannia completely off his own back. He's also the man who came up with the very cool PB logo.
The eagle-eyed among you may have spotted some of these concepts in the Pax Britannia video (which you will also find at the bottom of this blog post). However, I've never properly shown them off in all their glory, so here they are.

Stuck for what to buy the Gentlemen Adventurer or Lady Steam-power Pioneer in your life? Then you need the Steampunk Liberator Gun - or something like it.

Luc Besson's new film looks like it could almost be a French (and female) equivalent of the adventures of a certain Ulysses Quicksilver, Esquire.
Dark Side competition
It's great to see so many people getting behind the current Win a walk on part in Dark Side competition I'm running in support of the Devon Air Ambulance Trust. Abaddon Books have been bigging it up as have the guys over at Pornokitsch. And there's been a fair bit of banter on Twitter and Facebook.Even better than that is the fact that a number of people have already entered (and been very generous into the bargain). But if you haven't entered yet, don't be put off - any donation will do, no matter how small. After all, it is for charity. Just remember to tag your donation with the comment 'Jon Green sent me' to qualify.
Good luck and (if you've already
entered) thank you.

Win a walk on part in Dark Side
Have you ever fancied seeing yourself immortalised in print in a rip-roaring steampunk adventure? Well, if you have, here's the perfect opportunity. Interested?
The Prize
A walk on part in the next Ulysses Quicksilver Pax Britannia novel Dark Side, due to be published by Abaddon Books by the end of the year. It will be up to me how you appear in the book and whether you're a hero, a villain or a third class laundry room attendant, but your name will appear somewhere within the book.
How to Enter
All you have to do to qualify is make a small donation to charity. My sister-in-law is running in this year's London Marathon for the Devon Air Ambulance. If you sponsor her via her Just Giving page, along with the comment 'Jon Green sent me', then on the day of the marathon I will put all qualifying names into a hat and, after the race, get my sister-in-law to pick one. It really couldn't be easier.
So, if you'd like to enter this competition simply follow this link. To find out more about the work of the Devon Air Ambulance click here. I look forward to reviewing your entries in due course.
