About the Author

Cinnamin Herring is a writer, educator, and lifelong creative whose work blends soulful reflection with clear, practical communication. She helps others express themselves more authentically—whether through language, art, teaching, or technology.

Originally from the backwoods of southeast Texas, Cinnamin earned her Bachelor of Science in interdisciplinary studies from the University of Houston. After teaching in early childhood education, she became certified in English as a Second Language and worked with migrant students and families across North Carolina. She later earned her Master of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders from East Carolina University and practiced as a licensed speech-language pathologist.

Throughout her career, Cinnamin embraced technology as a tool for empowerment—guiding students, leading teacher workshops, building business websites, and supporting her husband’s real estate ventures. Her love of writing, first sparked in high school, grew into a serious practice in 2016, when she began using writing as a way to explore personal truth, clarity, and creative growth.

Her most recent book, Everyday Magic With AI, brings all of these threads together. Written for curious minds—not tech experts—it offers practical, uplifting guidance on how to use AI tools like ChatGPT as collaborative partners for creativity, clarity, organization, and emotional support. The book reflects her deep belief that new technology can support—not replace—human insight and connection when used intentionally.

Cinnamin is also the author of Letters Behind Bars: A Mother-Son Memoir and California Adventure. Her writing and art are grounded in mindful awareness, emotional honesty, and a desire to share wisdom in a way that feels both personal and universally relevant.

She lives in the foothills of Western North Carolina near her two adult sons, where she enjoys yoga, hiking, biking, writing, and painting in her studio. Her daily life is filled with quiet rituals, playful moments with her cats, and the kind of beauty that comes from being fully present.
