Jo Piazza

Jo Piazza is a bestselling author, podcast creator and award-winning journalist who reports her novels the way she reports a story.

The Parisian Heist came out of years in the archives with Jo van Gogh-Bonger, the twenty-eight-year-old widow who inherited hundreds of unwanted canvases and turned Vincent into the most recognizable artist in the world. Everyone Is Lying to You took her deep inside the world of tradwife influencers. The Sicilian Inheritance sent her to her family's village in Sicily to chase down a hundred-year-old mystery of her own. Readers tend to finish these books and go looking for the real people inside them.

Jo is also the national and international bestselling author of We Are Not Like Them, You Were Always Mine, Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win, The Knockoff and How to Be Married. Her work has been published in ten languages in twelve countries and four of her books have been optioned for film and television. Her podcasts have garnered more than twenty-five million downloads and regularly top the charts. An editor, columnist and travel writer, she has written for the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, New York magazine, Marie Claire, Glamour and many other publications.

She lives in Philly with her husband, Nick Aster, and three feral children.
