Doing is an Act of Teaching
Profs. Case and Meacham Release New Books
As we delve deeper into the semester, let’s take a moment to celebrate two important additions to the literary universe. Professors Rebecca Meacham and Julialicia Case, amidst their busy schedules, have both been recently published books.
Dr. Case, together with Salvatore Pane and Eric Freeze, co-authored a groundbreaking textbook, Story Mode: The Creative Writer’s Guide to Narrative Video Game Design, which uniquely combines game design and creative writing. This is a great resource to empower all writers to change the narrative while also working in a format that has been a mystery to many of us. Case gives us a guide to challenging the ideas of what video games have to be.
Dr. Meacham’s Feather Rousing gets personal by blending intimate memoir with historical fiction. Feather Rousingis a refreshing look at being human. This chapbook, a small book containing ballads, poems, tales, or tracts, takes you on a rollercoaster of tragedy and comedy. LaTanya McQueen, author of When the Reckoning Comes says: “In this genre-blending chapbook of stories and essays, Meacham uses historical events to comment on what it means to be a mother, a daughter, and a wife amidst the uncertainties of our world. Beautifully written, this fable-like collection, full of delight and intrigue, explores what it means to live and love and survive.”
Their success continues to enrich the lives of readers and writers everywhere. Our academic community is consistently made stronger thanks to the contributions of these and other innovative professors.
