- How Liane Moriarty Tricks Herself to Write Bestsellers
Liane Moriarty, author of mega best-sellers Big Little Lies, Nine Perfect Strangers and more, joins Luke in the studio for a candid, hilarious, and insightful conversation on her writing process, career origin story, and long-awaited return to her most famous literary world. In this episode, Liane opens up about growing up in a story-obsessed household of six kids—where her dad funded her earliest writing efforts—and reveals how a sudden flash of sibling envy over her sister's debut novel finally kicked her own multi-million-copy career into gear. She offers a fascinating look into Big Little Truths , her new book and first-ever sequel, sharing how Hollywood adaptations subtly reshaped how she visualized her own characters, like Nicole Kidman's Celeste, and the unique pressure of writing characters ten years later. Plus, she reveals how even after all this time and all those copies sold, she sometimes still has to trick herself to write (using some very ornate equipment), and why her fans are her biggest source of joy.

- Liane Moriarty on Here One Moment: Destiny, Fear and Fiction
Oh my goodness, I cannot begin to tell you just how special this episode was for me! Back in 2019, I actually missed an opportunity to ask Liane Moriarty a question because I was too nervous to put my hand up. Fast forward to today, and I can't quite believe I got to do a whole interview with Liane and I absolutely loved every single moment. It was a total dream come true! Liane joins me in this episode to discuss her brilliant new novel, Here One Moment. We chat all about the incredible (and, let's be honest, very unsettling!) premise of a woman giving out death predictions on a delayed flight, and where that idea came from. We then delve into our own opinions on fate, destiny, and even clairvoyants – it was all quite deep for a Monday morning! Of course, as always, we also discover the five books that have shaped Liane’s life, which are: Playing Beatie Bow by Ruth Park Feeling Sorry For Celia by Jaclyn Moriarty (currently unavailable on bookshop.org ) Pennington’s Seventeenth Summer by K.M. Peyton The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger The Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler Before we move on, I'd like to officially reassure all my lovely listeners that I have finally picked up The Time Traveller’s Wife, and I am really enjoying it! It only took the gentle encouragement of several bestselling authors to get me to actually pick it up, but hey, I got there in the end! Also mentioned in this episode: The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin The Measure by Nikki Erlick The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler Forever by Judy Blume Three Days in June by Anne Tyler Well, that is officially it for Season 3! I honestly don't know where the last eight weeks have gone, but I really, really hope that you have enjoyed this season as much as I have. I owe a huge thank you to all my wonderful guests who have made this such a joy: Gillian McAllister Fran Littlewood Lucy Steeds Claire Douglas Frances Quinn Clare Leslie Hall Virginia Evans And of course, the incredible Liane Moriarty! I'm currently buzzing with ideas and working away on Season 4, and I absolutely cannot wait to share more details with you. If you're following me on Instagram , you’ll be amongst the first to know what I’ve got planned.

- 13: Chat with Liane Moriarty
Repost from November 2024 Book Club when we chatted with NYT bestselling author Liane Moriarty and her book Here One Moment. When I look back on all the authors I've interviewed over the years, I don't think I've fangirled as hard as I did while chatting with Liane. The dang video was not working on her end so it truly was like listening to a podcast episode for our book club. Here One Moment was an emotional book for me and it was incredible to hear from Liane and the inspiration behind it. Her backlist of books are all wonderful and I highly recommend you to go back and read everything she's written. Thanks for listening!

Is your fate already pre-determined? Or do you feel you have true free will to dictate your own destiny? ...and if you could, would you want to find out when you’re going to die?
