Madeleine L’Engle

One of my all-time favorite authors, Madeleine L’Engle, died last night at the age of 88. A Wrinkle in Time was one of the first science fiction books I ever read…and reread. It was inspirational to me, both as a young reader and as a young writer. The main character, Meg, reminded me a lot […]

Advanced Copies are In!
