Cinnamon Worth is a native of San Diego. She grew up with a large family. Her parents had seven sons and three daughters. Cinnamon was their youngest. Her brothers and sisters would get into a lot of trouble, but would have the best stories to tell years later. Cinnamon was not as cool. She pretty much focused on school and kept her nose clean. When she went off to college, she ran into the same dilemma most college students do. Her nicely defined path was running out. She would need to make some choices. Chief among them – what was she supposed to do for a living? She had the good fortune to meet an amazing man the summer before her junior year of college. Sadly, she had already signed up to spend a year studying abroad. But the couple weathered the challenges of a long distance relationship and have now been married for over twenty years. Of course, all this did not solve that pesky problem of making a living – at least not right away. That romance did, however, shape so many choices in her life. She decided to obtain an MBA after college because that boy had two years left in college and wanted her to stay put in San Diego during that time. Then, after the two years ended, they married, and he dragged her away from her hometown so he could begin work on his PhD and his MD. The college he attended happened to be located near Sacramento, so with her MBA in hand and zero experience, she went door to door begging for work, which she eventually found. Her career ended up being in public finance – remember the Sacramento’s main industry is government. Year after year passed. Two beautiful children were born. Her husband studied and studied. After a little more than thirteen years, he had completed his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and his medical degree. But he still needed to do his residency. Once again they set off on a new journey and had the good fortune to spend a few years living and working just outside of San Francisco. But there is no place like home and once her husband completed his training, his career brought them right back to the city where they met. Cinnamon turned in her 10-key for an apron and became a homemaker. This has led to a boom in sales for local restaurant owners. Surprisingly, one finds free-time when they avoid housekeeping, refuse to cook, and have no job, so she started writing for fun and demonstrated for her children the advantages of finding someone to marry who will let you goof off all day. She loves humor, and even when she tries to be serious, it seeps into her writing. She has been thrilled to discover a small cluster of readers who are clearly brilliant, have excellent taste, and obviously possess a wickedly, awesome sense of humor. Yes – I mean those that are reading her books! Thus far, she has published books that use Jane Austen’s wonderful characters from Pride and Prejudice. The fifth such book will be released in early 2019.
