Hi, I’m Roselyn

I live in Pasadena, CA.

Since I retired from teaching math and computer science, I’ve been a full-time writer of mysteries and thrillers. 

At this moment, I’m probably at my desk writing a crime novel or a blog, or working on marketing my books, or playing in an online bridge tournament. Or perhaps I’m at a book club meeting or at the Pasadena Bridge Club.

Bio

Former math and computer science teacher, Roselyn Teukolsky, is the author of A Reluctant Spy, an unconventional spy thriller, and The Fourth Woman, a cautionary tale about online dating.

Roselyn has long been intrigued by the dilemmas faced by smart women in male-dominated settings. Working as a computer science teacher has given her the familiarity to create an authentic female protagonist, a brilliant computer scientist, who, in the latest novel, must ward off a ransomware attack and an online-dating predator.

Roselyn has a B.Sc. in Math and Chemistry from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, and an M.S. in Math Education from Cornell. She came to the United States when she was 23.

She is the author of the Barron’s review book for AP Computer Science, which is now up to its 13th edition.

Roselyn’s favorite pastime is tournament bridge. She wrote How to Play Bridge with Your Spouse … and Survive (Master Point Press) in 2002.

She lives in Pasadena, CA, with her husband, Saul Teukolsky.
