A Bit About Me

Eileen Wiedbrauk is a writer, editor, geek, coffee addict, cat herder, public library fangirl, founder and former Editor-in-Chief of World Weaver Press, MFA grad, Odyssey Workshop alum, database wrangler, kdrama devotee, avid reader, and a somewhat decent cook. She wears many hats, as the saying goes. Which is an odd saying in this case, as she rarely looks good in hats.

About the Speak Coffee to Me Blog and Eccentric Review:

This blog’s predominant theme is . . . well, it doesn’t really have a predominant theme. Most items fall under stuff I find interesting enough to write about.  There’s writing and storycraft articles, a few how-tos, and some reviews of Korean TV dramas. It’s eclectic. And eccentric. It’s hopefully vivacious, which is what I mean when I say, Speak Coffee To Me.
