Tamara Hillman Bio

Tamara Hillman, (nickname—Tam) was born and raised in the eastern Washington town of Twisp, (Indian name for wasp) in the beautiful Met-how Valley.

In her everyday life when young, she witnessed the hardscrabble life of REAL cowboys—branding, breaking wild horses, and rounding up cattle.

After a long career in hair styling, she retired, and pursued her real passion—WRITING. The one lesson heard loud and clear in her very first class was; “Write what you know!” That prompted her to write cowboy poetry, and western tales.

Tamara soon started having success with articles and poems published in national western and country magazines, postings on cowboy poetry websites, and was often invited to read her cowboy poetry on the radio.

She now has written and published six books: two cowboy poetry, one country living, one on the history of cowboy & Indian heroes & villains, one western novel, and now one on her personal insights on life in a new poetry book not of the cowboy persuasion, but still with a country view…

In November of 2007, she and her husband retired to their home in Arizona.
