Today’s guest blogger is fellow Egmont author, Lindsay Eland!  Lindsay’s MG novel, Scones and Sensibility, is about a girl who wishes life was more like a Jane Austen novel and decides to remedy that by playing matchmaker while working her summer job in her parents’ bakery.  I can’t wait for December, when this book comes out–it’s on my list of “Christmas presents I’m allowed to buy for myself.”

1. If a pirate, a ninja, and Batman got in a fight, who do you think would win and why?

The ninja would because he’s stealthy and could pants both of them before they knew what had happened…then again, Batman has a complicated suit. Still…the ninja has so much stealth he could pull it off!

2. Who’s your favorite pirate/ninja (in history or fiction)?

Long John Silver was deceptive and cruel…but he did have goodness in him that I couldn’t help but love

3. Along that line, who’s your favorite movie Batman?

I really like Christian Bale, though his voice really get’s on my nerves.

4. What would be the best thing about being a pirate/ninja/Batman?

I’d have super stealth…can you tell I like stealth?

5. Do you think there will ever be peace between pirates and ninjas? How do you think a truce would ever come about? Do you think Batman could negotiate the truce?

Never, though Batman would like to think he could negotiate a truce. But he can’t see very well out of that mask and besides, he can hardly move his neck…obvious truce-making skeelz…yes, I just said, skeelz

6. How would you end said truce and get the feud rolling again and how would you deal with Batman if he tried to interfere?

I would pants a pirate and blame it on Batman.

7. If you tripped and fell into a radioactive vat of cutlasses and gold dubloons and emerged as a pirate-themed supervillain, what would your superpower be?

Pantsing with stealth

8. If you stumbled a little farther to the left and fell into a radioactive vat of throwing stars and nunchucks and emerged as a ninja-themed supervillain, what would your superpower be?

Stealthy pantsing

9. If you were a pirate/ninja/Batman and found yourself in love with the enemy (i.e. a ninja/pirate or, say, Catwoman), how would you handle your taboo relationship?

Watch You Got Mail, cause it’s clearly a lot the same as Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan’s relationship

10. And finally, in the event of the Zombie-pocalypse, how would pirates/ninjas/Batman each survive?

The pirates and Batman probably wouldn’t survive…but the ninjas would survive by stealthy pantsing them. No one can mess with that.
