Having Faith
The Movie Chair follows an enchanted theater seat that loves providing for children however they need while they are in the theater. What was the inspiration for your story?
As a child, my mother took my brother, myself, and neighborhood kids to the movies a lot as our form of cinema therapy. My mother had also written a few unpublished children’s stories for her grandchildren. I wanted to get back into my creative spirit again since I was a semi-retired art therapist.
My creative background consists of: painting, writing, creating a series of children’s meditation CDs, and producing youtube educational art and cooking videos. After my mother passed, I found a story she tried to write, incorporating a loving movie chair, but it was very politically incorrect. LOL. I decided to reconstruct it by combining it with my guided imagery meditation stories that I wrote for children. This is how “The Story Room”, “The Movie Chair,” and its sequel, “The Magic Movie Chair Adventures,” were created. In this book, The Movie Chair flies out the window with the children and their pet bird, “Sneaky Tweets.” to experience amazing new adventures.
What were the morals you were trying to capture while creating your character of the chair?
I feel that the story is based on Karma, that what you put out comes back to you eventually. And It’s a story about having Faith, everything works itself out, and miracles happen.
What were some educational aspects that were important for you to include in this children’s book?
Encouraging young children to explore their creativity and use their imaginations instead of playing video games. In some ways, just bringing back simple family values.
What is the next book that you are working on, and when will it be available?
The Magic Movie Chair Adventures
Once I find an established publisher, I’ll move forward with publishing the book. I am also looking into an animation series too.

When all seems well, adversity strikes when the movie theater is remodeled, and the chair finds herself learning a new lesson on a different adventure than she ever expected. But things have a way of working themselves out by having faith. I know that The Movie Chair will reach children and touch many hearts.
