Gabrielle Craig Lord (born 26 February 1946) is an Australian writer who has been described as Australia's first lady of crime.〔Pressley, Alison (2007) "Lord and lady" in ''Good Reading Magazine'', April 2007, pp. 22–23〕 She has published a wide range of writing including reviews, articles, short stories and non-fiction, but she is best known for her psychological thrillers. ==Life== Gabrielle Lord was born in Sydney. She was educated at Kincoppal Rose Bay School of the Sacred Heart and the University of New England in Armidale, where she obtained an Honours degree in Victorian Literature. She worked as a teacher and as a public servant with the Commonwealth Employment Service. In 1978, with the support of a New Writer's Fellowship, she took a year off work to write full-time. The novel she wrote during the bulk of that time, ''A Death in the Family'', received a bad reader's report, so Lord put it aside and in the remaining three weeks of her year off wrote ''Fortress''. It was an instant success and, with the money from the film rights, she was able to leave paid employment in 1983 and return to full-time writing (Jennifer Ellison, ''Rooms of their Own'', Penguin, Ringwood, 1986, p. 202). Lord's other interests include animal welfare and a type of spirituality that is manifested in appreciation of the music of the Taizé Community, a spiritual community in France. Gabrielle Lord likes cats. She lives in a beachside Sydney suburb and has one daughter and four granddaughters.
