About Gabbie Stroud
Hello! I’m Gabbie Stroud, recovering teacher now turned writer. My non-fiction books and essays Teacher, Dear Parents and Teaching Australia explore “teacher life” in Australian schools. I also write fiction! The Things That Matter Most is a story about the heartbreaking secrets of one student and his teachers in a regional school. Have the tissues ready! Also… The Things That Matter Most is currently being adapted for the screen. Woot! Woot! Now, I’m writing domestic noir with a chic-lit twist. The Angry Wives Club is my first book for disgruntled women and it certainly won’t be my last.
