If you knew your future, would you try to fight fate? Would you do things differently if you were told you only had a certain amount of time left to live? Would you try to dodge your destiny?

In Liane Moriarity's new book, Here One Moment, there will be no problems aside from a delay. The flight will be smooth and land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off. But almost all of them will be forever changed. Because on this ordinary, short, domestic flight, something extraordinary happens. People learn how and when they are going to die.

But for six passengers, their predicted deaths are not far away at all. How do they know this? There were ostensibly more exciting 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, rude or polite. She wasn't drunk or, nervous or pregnant. Her appearance and demeanor were unremarkable. But what she did on that flight was truly remarkable. A few months later, one passenger dies precisely as she predicted. Then two more passengers die, again, as she said they would. Soon, no one thought this was an entertaining story at a cocktail party.

A modern-day Jane Austen who humorously skewers social mores while spinning a web of mystery, Moriarty asks profound questions in her newest I-can't-wait-to-find-out-what-happens novel. Be sure to register now!

About the Author: Liane Moriarty is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Truly Madly Guilty, Big Little Lies, The Husband's Secret, The Hypnotist's Love Story, What Alice Forgot, Apples Never Fall, and Here One Moment. She lives in Sydney, Australia, with her husband and two children.
