About the author

Margena has been writing every since she can remember, writing her first poem in 1st grade. At her day job, when she's not kicking young kids out of R-rated movies, she's sweeping up spilled popcorn from the hallways and aisles (She's not your mother, though, so please take your trash out). Her days off consist of writing science fiction, space opera, and more movie theater shenanigans. Reading is a close second to writing, and she normally has her nose buried in an indie author book.

Many every things inspire Margena's stories. Going to concerts, working at the movie theater, and the crazy lady who owns the liquor store have all found their way into a story. An observer by nature, anything can and most likely will find its way into a story.

Margena loves all the Harry Potter books and movies, Star Wars, Star Trek, The Orville, The Crown, and the Los Angeles Kings.

Reviews

[Claire · Rating 4 out of 5]

As with all books about real life and the things people do, your jaw does drop the floor a few times reading these vignettes... How? Why? What? Really? A not so flattering insight into the American movie goer but written in a wryly amused manner.

[Catherine · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fun, behind-the-scenes read for anyone who has ever gone to the movies. The author shares dozens of real-life examples of how to behave, and how not to behave, in a movie theater.
