Does anyone know what happened to the author of "Lights Out". His username was Halfast ?(I think) and his real name is David Crawford (I think). He wrote two books and then disappeared. Thanks.
Here it is in PDFI found an older short story by halfast. It is called The Bug Out and was written before Lights Out. It's in .mobi format (kindle) inside a .zip file.
Both also available at:Collision Course can be read at archive.org. You electronically "check out" the book for 1 hour at a time and read on the website. You have to be a member of archive.org and it remembers what page you were on like Kindle software. Note, there is no option to save the book, just read it on the site.
IMHO Lights Out was a better book/story if you can get past some of the EMP aspects. Collision Course does have some different scenarios and possibilities worth considering especially if planning to be stealthy bugging out to a retreat.

I have tried to figure how to get my stories from the nut house to edit and post updated stories here. Never could figure out how to efficiently use the way back site. Tried to reregister at the nut house but never could, made some fine friends there and thankfully for facebook we are still connected and have met up a time or two.The additions are much appreciated. I'd be interested to know if Mr. Crawford wrote anything else. I know he started out at the old Squirrel Hut (y'all know what I mean LOL) but left there when the former owner deleted the fiction area without warning after banning most of us authors. Alot of stories and authors were lost during that ruckus. I'm not even sure if the Wayback Machine could find any of it. Might be worth a look but we are talking 11 years ago now.

Yeah they're "helping us"FYI: the link now comes up with an announcement that "This site has been seized" by the Fibbers.
I was wondering if he was still in here. I recently bought a copy of the book Lights Out, and while I am happy to get to read it again, I am disappointed that the first part was not in the book. The part about the old man looking at his watch and wondering how long before the Americans all kill themselves.
That part explained the entire reason the lights went out. Without it, the story is not complete.
