Class Notes

Laurie Eden

Laurie (McRitchie) Eden, '00 BA Communication Studies, is the co-creator of the book series, Tater Tot and Shadow, created with her mother, a retired Clark County School District teacher. Inspired by her love for rescue dogs and travel, the book series follows the travel adventures of her two jet-setting rescue chihuahuas as they explore exciting and historic locales across the United States. Her fourth book, Tater Tot and Shadow Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas, is a top seller on Amazon’s Top Wishlist Travel Books for Nevada. As a native, she blends some of her favorite memories of growing up in the Entertainment Capital of the World and the Las Vegas that people know today. When Eden isn’t writing, she’s traveling with her husband, planning events, selling real estate, and checking out the latest restaurants in Austin, Texas, where she resides.
