Hello All:

 

As most of you know, I have been working hard over the past several years on
my research about blind people in the United States.  Last Fall, I came to a
place where I had to make a decision as to what I was going to continue to
do with my data.

 

For two years, I have been the History columnist for Dialogue Magazine.
Quitting my research would not have impacted by column as I have A LOT of
data to sift through.  Yet, I wanted to have a lot of people read my
stories.  So, I gave myself till April 15, 2016, to "fish or cut bait" so to
speak.  

 

I have decided to publish many more of my stories in an article format at a
nominal cost to help recoup some of my expenses.  .  I will be putting up a
website to compliment my stories.  There will be links to organizations like
NFB to order literature or alphabet cards.  There will be files for teachers
to download the braille games and find other options for their classes.  

 

I am working on my website for "theblindhistorylady.com".  It is not quite
ready to go yet. But, Today, I have taken my first big step.  I published my
first ebook on Smashwords that is a compelaition of my articles that have
appeared elsewhere.  You can find it for free at

 

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/622573.

 

Or from your favorite electronic book store.  

 

This is just a first in a series of articles that I will put out there and
promote to the greater community, not just the blind community.  I have
fallen in love with some of these "blind ancestors" as I know think of them.
I hope you will like the first offering and pass it along.  

 

Peggy
