I am a professor of English and professional writing at Washington & Jefferson College in Pennsylvania and the coeditor of "Jane Austen in Hollywood," the first book on the film adaptions of the famous British writer's novels. I am interested in games as another form of storytelling and games based on literary works as a form of transmediation/adaptation.
