In 2005 I made the most difficult decision of my life in deciding to end my marriage.

The result is a non-fiction book written from the heart. "The Great Escape; A Girl's Guide to Leaving a Marriage" covers various divorce topics. Social changes to expect, co-parenting, budgeting and tips for hiring a lawyer are all included.

My passion for writing began during my divorce and has blossomed into more creative pursuit without losing that drive to help others. "Hearts Unbroken-short stories", is my first published work of fiction.

I reside in Vancouver, British Columbia. I was featured in "B.C. Book World News" as an Indie author to watch. Yoga, painting, and art journaling are my favorite hobbies when I'm not wine tasting.

I've published several articles for Huffington Post Divorce, as well as DivorcedMoms.com and continue to blog at my own website, lisathomsonlive.com

Motto I live by: “Happiness is found in the people in your life, not the things in your life.”


“Choosing to break up your family is one of the most difficult decisions you will make in a lifetime. But once you have come to it; it will be with certainty. Certainty that you are ready to embrace the changes, the challenges and the joys of starting a new life.”
