To celebrate the relaunch of my site–a little late, I know–and because I love superheroes, pirates, and ninjas, I’m hosting this awesome contest! W00T! I’ve got guest blogs coming up by published authors as well as book bloggers, where I ask the important questions, like, “If a pirate, a ninja, and Batman got in a fight, who do you think would win and why?”<\/p>\n

My book, The Rise of Renegade X, is about superheroes and supervillains, and Batman is one of my favorite superheroes, and certainly my favorite “bad ass, could be mistaken for a villain but is standing just<\/em> this side of the hero line” superhero. So naturally a Batman training manual is essential for leading a happy and full life. And as for pirates and ninjas, who doesn’t love pirates and ninjas? There was even a scene in Renegade X where the characters talked like pirates (you can tell which side they’re on in the epic pirate\/ninja battle). I ended up cutting it, but I can assure you it’s an important part in my characters’ psyches. Or something like that. <\/p>\n

So to celebrate Batman, pirates, and ninjas (hey, I thought you were celebrating your website?!?), I present to you three awesome prizes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
From Drop Box<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Three lucky winners will get either The Batman Handbook<\/a>, The Government Manual for New Pirates<\/a>, or, last but not least, Ask a Ninja Presents the Ninja Handbook: This Book Looks Forward to Killing You Soon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These books are really hilarious, and of course essential guides to life. I already have my own copy of The Batman Handbook, natch<\/em>, but I’m trying to keep my drool off the pirate and ninja guides (why does she keep mentioning pirates before<\/em> ninjas? That’s piratist!), because I’ve read the first couple pages, and I’m already jealous of whoever wins them!<\/p>\n

But Chelsea, you say, how do *I*, a humble non-pirate\/non-ninja\/non-superhero win one of these highly valuable, sought-after prizes? Is there a test? To win the ninja book, do I have to prove I’m not a pirate in disguise? Can anyone enter? What about the Joker? CHELSEA, WHAT IF THE JOKER ENTERS YOUR CONTEST AND WINS THE BATMAN BOOK AND LEARNS ALL HIS SECRETS????<\/p>\n

That’s just a risk I’m going to have to take! Yes, there’s the possibility that a pirate with mobile internet on their ship will enter and win a ninja handbook, and it’s possible a ninja has already slipped into the room and stolen the pirate guide I thought was sitting next to me. I’m taking that chance! Anyone can enter, like so:<\/p>\n

The contest runs from October 1st to October 14th, at which point I will gather up all the entries and draw three names out of a hat or other hat-like object. Name number one gets their first choice, number two gets second choice, and third gets whatever’s left (sorry, third!). Then I will mail them out and all that.<\/p>\n

This is going to be one of those point contests.<\/p>\n

–You get +1<\/strong> point for commenting on any post between Oct. 1st and Oct. 14th–can be added up for more points.
\n–Becoming\/already being a follower of the blog<\/a> or the LJ<\/a> is +2<\/strong> points.
\n–Becoming\/already being a fan on the Renegade X facebook fanpage<\/a> is +2<\/strong> points.
\n–And tweeting or blogging about the contest earns you +1<\/strong> point.<\/p>\n

Let me know in the comments which ones you’ve done (provide links for twitter and blog mentions) and tally up your points. And tada!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
