Illinois, Arizona, Colorado, and Kansas have all been home to freelance writer Mary Ann Lien, who now happily resides in Texas with her husband of 25-years and their six children. Her love affair with coffee began at the age of eight when her mother allowed her a weekly cup--more milk and sugar than coffee--to sip while she read the Sunday comics. Mary Ann welcomes your comments, suggestions, and questions, and you can contact her at CoffeeExam@gmail.com.
