Medieval Studies
The Crusade Chronicles
A rigorously researched narrative history of the medieval Crusades — beyond myth, beyond politics, into the human record. Built from primary sources, not popular accounts.
Most Crusade histories flatten the record into a morality play. This book works the other direction: it reconstructs what the chroniclers, charters, and letters actually say — then lets the reader meet the event as the people in it understood it. No fantasy. No anachronism. No modern polemic projected backward.
In This Book
- The political and religious landscape of 11th-century Europe and the Levant
- The call at Clermont and how it was actually received, region by region
- The People's Crusade — and what the sources tell us about who traveled and why
- The siege of Antioch through the eyes of the chroniclers who survived it
- Jerusalem, 1099 — what happened, what didn't, and how to read the sources
- The crusader states and the first generation of governance
Approach
Primary-source driven. Multi-language citations (Latin, Greek, Arabic, Old French) brought into English with deliberate care. Where the record is ambiguous, the book says so and walks the reader through the evidence.

HR & Leadership
Veterans in the Workplace
A structured guide for HR professionals, managers, and veteran employees navigating the transition from military to civilian work culture. Frameworks, checklists, and real scenarios — written from both sides of the table.
Most "veteran hiring" content is rhetoric. This book is operational. It names the specific points where military training and civilian work culture mistranslate — and gives managers, HR teams, and veteran employees the tools to close the gap.
Who This Is For
- HR leaders building or refining veteran hiring programs
- Managers onboarding veteran employees
- Veterans translating service experience into civilian work terms
- Organizations measuring veteran retention and engagement
In This Book
- How military training actually reads — and how to translate it for civilian roles
- Communication mismatches: rank, tone, deference, and feedback
- Onboarding scenarios with frameworks for each
- Retention: the real reasons veterans leave, and what data says about it
- Manager checklists for the first 30 / 60 / 90 days
- A full workplace-management framework with evidence behind each step
Grounded In
Lived experience (Army 11C), the Workforce Stability analytics work on this site, and structured conversations with HR professionals who hire, manage, and retain veteran talent.
Legal Doctrine
In Development
Constitutional Law
Reconstructing Corporate Personhood
A doctrinal legal theory project that reconstructs corporate constitutional personhood after Citizens United — using common-law analysis and structured tension mapping. No advocacy. No politics. Pure doctrine.
Citizens United is usually discussed in political terms. This book brackets the politics and asks a narrower, harder question: what did the decision do to the internal coherence of American corporate-personhood doctrine — and what does the common-law record actually support?
What This Book Is
- A doctrinal reconstruction, not a policy argument
- A common-law analysis of the treatment of corporate persons across two centuries of U.S. case law
- A structured tension map identifying where the doctrine contradicts itself
- A framework for reading subsequent cases without importing political framing
What This Book Is Not
- Legal advice
- A political manifesto
- A call for overruling any specific decision
- An appeal to readers who want a simple answer to a complicated question
Audience
Law students, legal scholars, constitutional-law readers, and the subset of informed general readers who want the doctrine laid out cleanly without being told what to think about it.
