Mr Farrell is a fiction writer and memoirist. A former director of The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, he published his memoir, The Lie That Settles, in 2013.

Farrell was runner-up in the NZSA Memoir and Local History Competition in 2012. He has studied creative writing and his short stories have appeared in a number of anthologies and journals.
