The Rewritten Companion (Plan)
The Rewritten Companion is a companion website for my book Rewritten. It is for people who have just been laid off or fired and are not sure what to do first. You answer a short set of questions, and it builds a personalized 12 month action plan with small steps you can start right away. The plan covers time-sensitive tasks such as unemployment claims and health coverage, along with coping, job searching, training, and extra income ideas. The cost is $29 as a one time payment, with no account or subscription. The site does not store your answers or your plan, so you will want to print or save it before you leave the page. Because the plan is a long document, have your printer ready. All sales are final. The plan is not legal, tax, financial, or medical advice, and it does not guarantee employment or income.

Teoría de la Autoridad Arraigada y el Traslado
Teoría de la Autoridad Arraigada y el Traslado de la Validación de la Autoridad al Marco Federal en las Repúblicas en Expansión (Theory of Rooted Authority and the Transfer of Authority Validation to the Federal Framework in Expanding Republics), 2026
Theresa Avila Bimbela, M.A.
This article introduces two original theoretical concepts to federalism scholarship, grounded in the career of Juan Francisco Reyes, soldado de cuera and alcalde of the Pueblo de Los Angeles. It offers a structural account of how expanding republics relocate the site at which governing authority must be validated, with implications for the study of territorial incorporation, legal harmonization, and the limits of existing federalism theory.
