Psalm 23 Mysteries Update
So a lot of people have been asking me when the next Psalm 23 Mystery is coming out. I have some bad news and I have some good news. The publisher has decided they don't want to buy any more books in the series. That's clearly the bad news. The good news is that because of all the messages of support I have been getting from fans of the series I have decided to continue it anyway. I will be making future books available in ebook format only (at least for now). Book 4 Beside Still Waters will be available in February. I stress again that I wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for the fact that the series has amazing fans and I don't want to disappoint them. Thank you all for the encouragement and continued support!

The Hunt is On!!
The First Annual Debbie Viguié Summer Scavenger Hunt!
Welcome to the Scavenger Hunt and thank you for participating! The hunt will begin at 8 am EST Saturday, July 30th. It ends tomorrow night, Sunday, July 31st at midnight EST. This gives you 40 hours to complete the hunt. When you have finished email your answers to me at: debbie@debbieviguie.com
If you're having trouble with email for any reason contact me on Facebook or the website and let me know. DON'T post your answers to either of those places lest others benefit from your hard work. Answer as many questions as you can to improve your chances of winning.
Winners will be determined by number of points scored. In the event of a tie Debbie will make the final decision. All results are final.
The hunt will take you all over the internet. Debbie's website, Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble are just a few of the places you might find yourself looking at but there could be more websites. Make sure you read questions very carefully and check your spelling for your answers.
Good luck participants! Now let the First Annual Debbie Viguié Summer Scavenger Hunt begin!!
_________________________________________________________________________
1. What is the name of the superheroine Debbie wrote about in the Chicks in Capes anthology? (Spelling counts!)
2. Who is Debbie's favorite author? (Need the actual name, not just the title of one of their books).
3. Publisher's Weekly wrote "…the cinematic writing and apocalyptic scenario should find a ready audience." about which of Debbie's books?
4. In The Summer of Cotton Candy what is the name of Candace's stuffed bear?
5. On Goodreads.com Debbie has ranked some of the books she's read. Books by 10 different authors have been ranked as five stars. Name four of the ten authors whose books Debbie has given five stars to.
6. Which one of The Psalm 23 Mystery novels is currently most expensive on Amazon?
7. Free wallpaper is available for which two of Debbie's books?
8. In the Sweet Seasons series the main character is nicknamed Candy. In another one of Debbie's series the main character has a name that is different by one letter. What is that character's name and the series in which they appear?
9. What is Debbie's favorite movie according to her page on one of her publisher's websites?
10. Where was Debbie at on July 23rd?
11. Where will Debbie be on September 4, 2011?
12. For how many years has Debbie been wanting to write the Kiss series?
13. Name three of the songs that were on Debbie's Wicked: Resurrection Playlist.
14. How many retold fairy tales does Debbie have?
15. This is a multi-part question so please read everything carefully.
According to the Barnes & Noble website, what one of Debbie's books is coming out on November 22, 2011?
Go to the Facebook page for the series that that book is part of (might as well "like it" while you're there!)
Read the "about" paragraph in the left hand column. The last word references a type of character that's in what other series of Debbie's?
Go to the series page for that second series on www.debbieviguie.com.
Click on the cover for the first book in that series. Then click on the foreign edition of that book on the far right which will take you to an Amazon page. The name of the publisher is displayed immediately after the title.
The name of that publisher is a word that is also the title of a famous 1958 movie. Look the name of that movie up on imdb.com. In the synopsis it says that a character from a certain city suffers from a distinct phobia. The main character from one of Debbie's book series is originally from that city (that city specifically, not a neighboring one) and the main character from one of Debbie's other book series has that fear. Name those characters.
