Cinnamon holds a Ph.D. in History and is an unapologetic book nerd. She loves to run while jamming to her favorite music, is a proud Swiftie and Elvis superfan, and finds inspiration in her heroes—Dorothy Parker, Dolly Parton, and Leslie Knope. She lives in Columbia with her husband, Mark, and their son, Evan. Their family loves visiting Mark’s home country of Wales—and their two lazy (and always hungry) cats, Gus and Murray, keep things lively at home.
