The Late Bloomer shares the story of how A Wrinkle in Time almost wasn't published.  Madeleine L'Engle finished a Wrinkle in Time when she was 46 years old. She was in her 70s when it was banned.

Looking for inspiration? Here's 11 Nasty Women who are dominating fiction -- right now! :) Have you read any of them? Who would you add to your list? A few of the Nasty Women authors are going to join us a Women and Fiction in upcoming episodes.

Until next week!
