Dandelion dynasty book 45/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Ken Liu's new Dandelion Dynasty book, The Veiled Throne, is more than a thousand pages long. Every choice made on the page becomes about reach and scope and eternity, playing with lives like grains of sand and time on a calendar that can measure centuries. When you sit down to write an epic, you are taking the fates of millions into your hands. It begins as an epic, has to keep that flame burning on every page, and cross the finish line with worlds having been shattered and forever changed. An epic is an epic right from the very start. Because those kinds of series? You can taste the small ambition in them right from the very start.Īnd I'm not saying that's a good thing or a bad thing, just a different thing. ![]() Not to write one book that sees some success and becomes two or three or ten.

The Wild Man by Timothy B. Husband5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() This is not to dismiss Gordon’s own voice–which is most certainly hers, and a strong one. Stephanie Gordon asserts that “When a woman speaks, she ought to direct her listeners to the wisdom of her husband,” (9) thus, the “wisdom” at the heart of this guide for women comes from a man, Timothy Gordon, who is well-known in the reactionary Catholic media sphere as a podcaster and author of The Case for Patriarchy, which was published by Crisis Publications (a division of Sophia Institute Press) in Fall 2021. We learn both the genesis of this version of wifely submission–from the highest possible authorities in the author’s life–and the intended audience–women who are seeking something radically different from contemporary ideas about women and marriage. (35)Įverything one needs to know about Stephanie Gordon’s new book, Ask Your Husband: A Catholic Guide to Femininity, published by TAN Books, can be found in this passage. ![]() It turns out that much of what he taught me (and in some cases, that which we learned together), I may hereby pass onto women who may be craving-and lacking-what I myself was formerly missing. ![]() As you will see, everything I have learned about being a submissive wife first came from answered prayers to God and then from asking my husband. ![]()
