A witty and cleverly crafted Pride and Prejudice Variation,
Absurdities and Assumptions retells the story of the courtship between
Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy. This classic couple’s romance is shaken
off course when, shortly after leaving Hertfordshire, Darcy receives word that
one of the Bennet sisters is engaged to the obsequious Mr. Collins. Darcy, a
rich and powerful landowner, knows that Elizabeth is not a suitable match but,
having already lost the battle with Cupid, he finds himself rushing back to the
countryside. He is relieved to discover that it is Mary Bennet who is destined
to become Mrs. Collins. But his path to happiness is still far from assured.
Darcy may have resolved his internal struggle to accept Elizabeth’s as she is,
but he must now overcome a rival and his own inability to interpret events
around him. Filled with hilarious misunderstandings and mishaps, Assumptions
and Absurdities is sure to entertain.
Cinnamon Worth is a San Diego native who is also the
youngest of ten children. Growing up, she would listen to her siblings' tales
of shenanigans and escapades. Although she did not share her older siblings
daring quest for adventure, she did discover that through imagination she could
find all the excitement she craved from the safety of her room.
She discovered a love of reading at a young age and firmly
believed that a good book should strive to make the reader feel uplifted. She
was later shocked to find that nearly every English teacher she would study
under disagreed with this philosophy. After countless hours reading assigned
novels that included tragedies, melodramas, and modernism, Cinnamon was
eventually convinced to admit that a good book does not require a happy ending.
She does, however, strongly advocate for one.
In college, Cinnamon met her Prince Charming and then
promptly left him to pursue an opportunity to study abroad in the beautiful
English countryside. Fortunately, her Prince was a patient man who waited for
her return, and he has since spent nearly 25 years teaching her the meaning of
love, showing her the World, helping her to raise two wonderful children, and
encouraging her to pursue her dreams.
Cinnamon enjoyed a long career in public sector finance, but
she was delighted to leave the corporate world behind in 2014 to focus her
efforts on being a homemaker. This shift gave her more time to explore new
interests and hobbies which include traveling, cake decorating, crafting, and
home renovations. Much to her surprise, she discovered, almost by chance, that
she also loved to write.
Hoping to encourage her own children to embrace reading,
Cinnamon started writing stories that she thought would cater to their
preferences. She focused on plots that centered around characters her children
admired. Although she was informed by her children that her stories were,
"good but contained too many words," Cinnamon found an audience for
her work after posting the stories on the internet. Soon, Cinnamon decided to
shift her focus to writing stories based on some of her own favorite characters.
For now, these include Jane Austin's most beloved characters.
