Roslyn McFarland lives in the Blue Mountains on the traditional lands of the Darug and Gandangarah people.
While working for many years as a secondary teacher, she wrote and edited a series of successful HSC English Course books. Having spent a great deal of her time in France and as a lover of the arts, she was naturally drawn to the colourful life of the Australian WWII artist, Stella Bowen. The result is Foreign Attachments, her second novel, which was published in October 2024.
Her debut novel, All the Lives We’ve Lived, was published by Ginninderra Press in 2019, while her novella, The Privacy of Art, was a Bronze Medal Winner in 2016 Global eBook Awards.
Roslyn has an MA in Creative Writing from UTS, Sydney, and several of her poems and short stories have appeared in various online and print publications.
