A Deep Dive in Character Development with Bestselling Author Liane Moriarty

Join us as we chat with bestselling author Liane Moriarty about her new novel Here One Moment. In Here One Moment, a group of strangers board an airplane. Aside from a delay, there are no problems. The flight is smooth and land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane gets off. But almost all of them are forever changed. On this ordinary, short, domestic flight, people learn how and when they are going to die. For some, their death is far in the future. But for six passengers, their predicted deaths are not far away at all. There were more interesting people on the flight but none would become as famous as “The Death Lady.” Not a single passenger or crew member will later recall noticing her board the plane. She wasn’t exceptionally old or young or rude or polite. She wasn’t drunk or nervous or pregnant. But what she did on that flight was truly remarkable. A few months later, one passenger dies exactly as she predicted. Then two more passengers die, again, as she said they would. Soon no one is thinking that this is simply an entertaining story at a cocktail party. Moriarty’s Here One Moment is a brilliantly constructed tale that looks at free will and destiny, grief and love, and the endless struggle to maintain certainty and control in an uncertain world.  

Liane Moriarty is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Truly Madly GuiltyBig Little LiesThe Husband’s SecretThe Hypnotist’s Love StoryWhat Alice Forgot, Apples Never Fall, and Here One Moment. She lives in Sydney, Australia, with her husband and two children.
