Happy New Year...

[liz_marcs]

First off, special thanks to ffutures for solving my short story mystery. Very cool. The Disappearing Act by Alfred Bester. I am so on my way to find that story.

On a second front, a drive-by Happy New Year to everyone out there. Okay, it's 8 p.m. here on the East Coast, but just getting in a little happy before midnight.

Thanks everyone for hanging with me here on LJ. It's been a treat meeting you all (some via comments, some in person).

Yes, before you ask, I'm one of those paranoid people who bunker down on New Years' Eve out of fear of drunk drivers. Having covered more than a few fatal accidents when I was a reporter, I've turned into such a wuss to the point that getting behind the wheel on the big drinking holidays makes me break out in a cold sweat.

Plans, plans, plans...well, I've got DVDs. I'm ordering take-out pizza. I've even worked a lot on Water Hold Me Down today instead of actually doing something useful around the house. So it's all going to be good.

See ya all next year!

Well it's new year here in the UK, so let me be the first to wish you a proper Happy New Year (even though it's not new year in the US yet).

Happy New Year, Liz. Thank you for some wonderful hours of reading pleasure. I'm so glad I found you and your stories on LJ. All the best, and many plot bunnies for 2005!

Actually it's Disappearing Act without the The, but it still ought to be easy enough to find. A good source for this sort of info is the Locus index:

Following that to the alphabetical list by author gets me to this page:

and down a bit gets me the many publications of Disappearing Act (eleven in all). None of them seem to be particularly recent, but I'd guess you can find one or another in a second-hand bookshop if you shop around.

And I forgot to say HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year! ::hug::

I totally understand your position about the drunk drivers, but we braved the highway to attend szandara's party and... there were surprisingly few cars on the road!

thank you

It´s been great having your writings this year. Both the fanfic and
general stuff. Staying in because of drunken drivers ? Is´nt there any public transportaions where you live ? When i went out this New Years i used the subway to get to the parties.
