I was born (Tamara Anne Dicus) in Twisp, Washington, a small ranching/logging community in the northern part of the state. My dad was a logger, and our family lived on a twelve acre farm where we raised everything we ate.
When I married my husband of thirty-two years, I brought three children from a previous marriage, (he brought two) into the union. Because of a failing economy at that time in our little community, we were forced to move the family to the more urban areas on the west side of the mountains of Washington state in order to procure a decent living. Though I was far from home, my heart remained in the beloved Methow Valley. After a thirty-year career as a beautician and owner of several salons, I retired and pursued my passion―“WRITING.” Naturally, I was most comfortable in writing poems and prose from those warm memories of country and cowboy life. Thus, cowboy poetry and western novels came easily to me and I started a new career writing mostly in these two genres. I often perform on western radio stations, and have been invited to do stage work as well at cowboy jamborees and gatherings all across this nation and Canada. I have two books published, “PURE COUNTRY” and “DUSTY TRAILS,” with more to come. You will find many of my poems on this, www.cowboyfun.com, and other websites such as… www.cowboypoetry.com www.texasbobsworld.com (under PURE COWBOY FUN) and http://wacobelle.org At the end of 2006, my husband, Steve, will be retiring and we plan to move permanently to our home in Arizona.
