Brief description: Trish Tomer tumbled into Lake Tahoe in the early 1970s with a pocket full of dreams and an irresistible pull to carve out a life in the mountains. Over the decades, she's found her truest companions in her beloved dogs and the wild residents of the Sierra-from the curious bears who frequent her yard to the ravens soaring overhead, sharing their ancient wisdom from the pines, to the chattering squirrels who critique her gardening efforts.Through her years as a Tahoe local, Trish has collected stories while watching the seasons paint the mountains in a kaleidoscope of colors. She's a keen observer of the quirks, characters, and tales that give mountain life its untamed heart and soul.In her writing, Trish captures the authentic voice of longtime locals, spinning stories in the questioning spirit of a rebellious child, navigating change in an evolving alpine paradise, and finding the humor and heart in everyday moments. Pull up a chair and get ready for some straight shooting from a bona fide Tahoe Old-Timer who's never lost her inner child's sense of awe and curiosity.
