FEELING FOREIGN: A writer's life in Colombia: Rant: Ramona Geraldine Quimby and Farenheit 451
http://heidiayarbe.blogspot.com/2010/09/rant-ramona-geraldine-quimby-and.html
Monday, September 6, 2010. Rant: Ramona Geraldine Quimby and Farenheit 451. My parents were both teachers, avid readers, and books always spilled from our shelves. To this day, I don't remember an evening in which my mom and dad weren't reading books. My mom reads about three or four novels a week. My dad is huge on biographies, history, and reads every word from THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY, two local papers and more. So when my parents took us to see Farenheit 451 - it was being shown at the Community College ...

FEELING FOREIGN: A writer's life in Colombia: Rant: Grossed Out: An Itchy Post
http://heidiayarbe.blogspot.com/2010/03/rant-grossed-out-itchy-post.html
Wednesday, March 3, 2010. Rant: Grossed Out: An Itchy Post. Told you. You're scratching your head as you read. Mine isn't. (Or, should say, hasn't been. But now I'm not sure if I have "phantom itching" or if I have little dwellers . still.). Anyway, back to what I've been up to this past month: The Battle of the Head Lice. Initially, I thought I wouldn't post about something so utterly gross, but then I thought, "Hey! I have a really disturbing OCD side. Head lice just puts me over the edge, and I ge...

http://heidiayarbe.blogspot.com/2012/01/2012-what-were-odds-that.html
Saturday, January 21, 2012. 2012: What were the odds that . This year is the year: What were the odds . in honor of Mike, my main character in WANTED and a high school bookie. So to start off 2012: What were the odds that I'd still be in Colombia after 15 years! Okay, technically we traveled a lot and lived all over the world, but truth be told, I arrived to Colombia 15 years ago this month. What were the odds I'd STILL be here? My work contract was only for two years. Boy have I milked that sucker!

Bleary-Eyed Scribe: December 2010
http://bleary-eyedscribe.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Wife, Supermom, Avid Reader, Children's Writer. Sunday, December 19, 2010. Saturday afternoon my critique group partner and dear friend, Maria Veres and I drove to Chandler to attend our Oklahoma SCBWI chapter's Christmas party. She always makes the boring drive to Chandler FUN. We giggle a lot and get there in no time! She's one of the funniest people I know. Oh, and she brought me delicious banana pineapple bread and a dozen fresh eggs from her own chickens. I'm blessed to have her as my friend. 2 Ther...

FEELING FOREIGN: A writer's life in Colombia: A book (every other) day! Day 21 and contemporary Colombian authors!
http://heidiayarbe.blogspot.com/2014/12/a-book-every-other-day-day-21-and.html
Sunday, December 21, 2014. A book (every other) day! Day 21 and contemporary Colombian authors! When we think about Colombian literature, we think Gabriel Garcia Marquez. But that tends to be tunnel vision, as if we were to only think about American lit and Ernest Hemingway. Here are three of my favorite, contemporary Colombian authors:. Is best known for Rosario Tijeras. Like Gabo, has a background in journalism. He's written many chronicles about the curious, folkloric, and inconceivable realities ...

FEELING FOREIGN: A writer's life in Colombia: Accelerated Readers (AR) = Arbitrary Ridiculousness
http://heidiayarbe.blogspot.com/2013/02/accelerated-readers-ar-arbitrary.html
Friday, February 1, 2013. Accelerated Readers (AR) = Arbitrary Ridiculousness. Being a book person - a person who LOVES books - I've been curious about this Accelerated Reader program that gives books number values (YEP . ALL sorts of books, even mine). After a student reads my novel, they get to take a lovely quiz about it. (Yippeee! The joy of reading all summed up in a ten-question, multiple-choice quiz just to make sure you finished that book, every single page.). Why do I say this? Refers to the sop...

Wednesday, November 9, 2011. The Year of Prime . A Little about Bonnie and Clyde . WANTED cover reveal and signed ARC giveaway coming upl! We hear it all the time. "It's a total Bonnie and Clyde-style movie, book, TV show." And we say it with a little bit of reverence. Awe, even. Bonnie and Clyde, the romantic robbing duo, are legendary.
