Hi, Lissi! I'd love to scan it if nobody else has volunteered. I love
Christian fiction, and I think I recall hearing that this one is a very good
read. If no one else has claimed it, let me know, and I'll send my address
off-list. Thanks!
Jana
Dear Volunteers,
Are there any scanners out there interested in a Christian Romance to scan? I got 2 brand new hardcover copies of, Fire by Night by Lynn Austin for a dollar. I'll be glad to mail an interested scanner one copy to scan and keep with the request that you offer me the chance to validate it when you finish scanning since I own a duplicate copy to use if it's needed. Once the book is uploaded I'll donate my print copy and you are free to do whatever you like with yours.
The author of this book has won one or two Christy awards. The story is about two women living in northern states during the Civil War, one Affluent and one not. One becomes a nurse and the other disguises herself as a soldier.It is 383 pages long.
Normally, I don't read pure romance or Christian fiction, but since these books just fell in my lap, I had the urge to try something different.
When I checked a week ago, this book wasn't in the collection. If anyone is aware that it's in process, please let me know so I can shuffle my two copies to the book donation box.
Contact me off list at

Always With Love,
Lissi

Sorry, Darrell. My comments were not directed at you. I did not fully
read the original post on this subject, and so didn't know who was involved
with the petition. I do know that some members of the blind community
(myself included) are not always as courteous as we could be, when dealing
with difficult situations. I probably should not have said anything, since I
hadn't researched the subject.

completely within the public record, so I hope everyone will do theirHi Paula and everyone,
The vast majority of all my actions on behalf of the blind community are
research if they have any concerns about my sincerity or ability to work
with others. More information about the petition, including the completely
open process by which a letter to Dr. Eric Schmidt is being crafted, is
available at http://www.blindaccessjournal.com. As is the case with all
human beings, I am not perfect, and neither have been all the actions I have
taken. Please, don't simply listen to a small number of my discontented
detractors. If you care about what happens to the blind and visually
impaired, please, sign the petition right now. I have every confidence we
will change Google's mind and they will make their visual verification
scheme accessible, but only if we tell them in large enough numbers that
this is needed.subscriber and supporter of Bookshare all over the place. Bookshare is all
Many of you will be interested and gratified to know that I am a
about access to books for the blind, visually impaired and print disabled.
I am all about accessibility. It is a perfect match. I sincerely hope all
Bookshare staff and volunteers will sign this petition. Let's all show we
can make a difference. Go Bookshare!for
All the best,
Darrell
