    I actually attribute L.O. as my launching pad to the prep mindset.

    Halffast,
    I'm really glad to see that your work is finally going to be published and printed. You will never know just how many people you affected with your story. One of these days when I come through SA dinner is on me.

    It looks like David is awaiting the proof copy this week. If it's good, he'll order the printing.

    Since We wanted signed copies for this thread, they will take a little while longer to get. Shipped to David, signed, shipped to me. I think we'll close this thread and select the winning 20 once David proofs the Proof. Thanks for the interest everyone!

    We'll be receiving a limited amount of signed copies at the same time the first 20 come in and will be offering them for sale in a separate thread.

    ROLL THE PRESSES!!

    Alrighty folks, the deed is done, the presses do run (or soon will.) All those that have expressed an interest in the drawing are in, and there can be no more entries as of this post date and time. For now, we'll close this thread, and from time to time re-open it or start another for updates if needed. Winners will be listed out in a future thread, along with how and where to order copies from Amazon. There will be a very limited number of signed copies available other than by winning in the drawing, and we'll tell you how that will work (as soon as we figure it out.)

    We are shooting for the winners to be announced next week.

    Thanks to halffast for his efforts, creativity and hard work getting it done, and to melbo for making the arrangements for this drawing.

    I'm in shock. This is the first thing I have ever won in my life, and I am no spring chicken.

    As many of you know, Lights Out by David Crawford, aka Halffast, has been published. We had a drawing here at survivalmonkey.com for 20 signed copies.

    You can purchase signed copies of Lights Out here: Lights Out by David Crawford - aka Halffast


    If you want regular copies, you can either purchase them from Amazon: Lights Out by David Crawford or from Lights Out the book

    Ironically, (based on the title and scenario), the kindle version is now out for $7.99

    We also plan to have some regular copies for sale on an ongoing basis.

    Wow! Eclipse, I'm with you. I'm blown away! I won?!? This is very cool and a very nice surprise on a day filled with minor annoyances.

    Thank you! b::

    Kyfho -- good idea. I can think of a few folks who need to read the book. Merry Christmas!

    We tried to choose people we thought hadn't ever won anything.
    What's one copy of LO to make someone's day :)

    no, seriously, ghrit created a spreadsheet that logged each post in this thread and counted only their first post. Then we used a random number generator we found online to select 20. Congrats!

    I'm sorry guys, but there must be some mistake with that list. I never win anything. :love:

    Thanks Dave and SM!
