Liane Moriarty on the Big Little Lies Sequel and Writing After a Hit

In this episode of Hungry Dogs with James Patterson, author Liane Moriarty talks about growing up in a family of storytellers, her conflicted feelings about personal branding, and the experience of writing Big Little Lies and watching it become a hit series. She also discusses following that story with Big Little Truths, and how performers like Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman shaped the way she thought about returning to those characters. 📚 Liane Moriarty's book, Big Little Truths (Available August 25th): https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/760976/big-little-truths-by-liane-moriarty/ ▶️ Watch more Hungry Dogs episodes: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVNQ8uIfN4qtL1RjSgs4BfXxFG5WNs0wR&si=HMzWpnWPuT-A8k3x 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hungry-dogs-with-james-patterson/id1845905844 🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3n2kHgP1PRv4XjYeI4XY5u ABOUT THE SHOW James Patterson—the world’s bestselling author—created Hungry Dogs to explore the minds of extraordinary people, from authors and musicians to actors and politicians.
