ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Ten Thousand I Love Yous is Lisa Slabach’s second novel.  She is currently working on her third full-length manuscript and a collection of short stories inspired by her experiences growing up in a small farm community in Washington’s Yakima Valley.  In addition to writing, Lisa is a Fintech Relationship Executive for a Fortune 500 Company.  She is a long-time resident of Northern California and lives with her husband, one-hundred-forty-pound puppy and numerous goldfish.  In her free time, she enjoys wine tasting, shopping with her daughters, and cooking in her pink kitchen.

 

Prior to publication, her first novel, Degrees of Love was recognized as a Best Book of 2014 by Kirkus Review.  Degrees made its publishing debuted December 1, 2017 and was nominated for a 2017 Reviewer’s Choice Award by RT Book Reviews.

 

Ten Thousand I Love Yous continues Lisa’s exploration of themes of love and following one’s own path to happiness. But whereas Degrees follows the journey of a women seeking happiness in an unhappy marriage, Lisa thought it would be interesting to explore how a woman in a presumably fulfilling marriage gets back to happy after being blindsided with a divorce. After the intensity of Degrees, Lisa also wanted to try her hand at a lighter take on a heavy subject.
