Liane Moriarty (born November 15, 1966) is an internationally acclaimed #1 New York Times bestselling Australian novelist whose brilliantly sharp, humor-laced domestic mysteries have sold over 20 million copies across forty languages. Born and raised in Sydney, she worked in advertising and ran her own freelance copywriting agency before earning a master's degree from Macquarie University, where she wrote her 2004 debut novel, Three Wishes. Moriarty vaulted into global literary prominence with her 2013 breakout hit, The Husband's Secret, and solidified her status as a dominant cultural powerhouse with her 2014 psychological masterpiece, Big Little Lies, which took a powerful stand against domestic violence and won multiple Primetime Emmy Awards for its blockbuster HBO television adaptation starring Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon. Renowned for unmasking the fragile myths of suburban perfection, her stellar track record includes successive global hits like Truly Madly Guilty, Nine Perfect Strangers, Apples Never Fall, and her 2024 destiny-themed flight thriller, Here One Moment. Her massive multimedia footprint has expanded with star-studded screen adaptations across networks like Hulu and Peacock, and she continues to drive immense international excitement by launching her highly anticipated August 2026 release, Big Little Truths—the monumentally anticipated literary sequel that revisits the lives of the Monterey mothers ten years later as their children navigate high school.
