There were so many moments I wondered if anyone would care about my story. Putting these words on paper required a vulnerability I wasn't sure I was ready for. This has truly been a marathon, but we've crossed the finish line.
"Lady MacGyver" (more about this title soon!) launches August 1st, with pre-orders available in June. You'll be able to grab it in print, e-book, or audiobook.

Another fabulous review of ‘Foreign Attachments’ … congratulations Roslyn McFarland

This lovely review was written by Anne Nicholson and posted in FB's Reading Room Group page. I wanted to share it here but could only do so by cutting and pasting.
So here it is:
I have just finished reading Roslyn McFarland’s latest novel, Foreign Attachments, and what a wonderful read it is. Through the fictional Neve, a young Sydney-based art curator who falls in love with the celebrated French musician Antoine, we are transported to the iconic streets and landmarks of Paris when Neve moves there to be with him. Through Neve’s interest in Stella Bowen, a non-fictional but sadly not well-known Australian painter and official WWII artist, (some of her work is in the Australian War Memorial) we travel back one hundred years as Stella, barely an adult, leaves Australia by boat to pursue her dream to be a painter.
As Neve researches and writes a fictionalised account of Stella Bowen, the difference in their lives is stark. Whereas 21st century Neve has agency and an established career, Stella is confined by the norms and mores of the early 20th century. As Stella meets an eclectic mix of artists such as Ezra Pound, she falls in love with the novelist, Ford Madox Ford and in the 1920s, in financial dire straits, they move to Paris with their daughter. Here, as they immerse themselves in the vibrant artistic scene of the time, Stella works at her art while juggling her other responsibilities, all the while dealing with Ford’s many betrayals
Neve’s relationship with Antoine is happy and she has found work in her chosen field. Yet not all is well. The acts of terrorism and natural tragedies that befall Paris during this time hint at an underlying tension. Maybe there are more similarities between Neve and Stella than first thought. Although seriously talented, both encounter barriers many women face. You know, the more things change etc. etc.?
I loved the journey this novel took me on. Another trip to the Australian War Memorial is on the cards, too.

— About the Book —

Simon Feldman had everything to live for, and as it turns out, everything to lose.

From co-founding a successful ASX-listed company to embezzling $16.5 million, Simon’s story is anything but ordinary. His life took a sharp turn when he was sentenced to four years in Silverwater jail. But it was upon his release that he was forced to really confront the consequences of his actions and he found himself spiralling into despair. The experience of incarceration left deep scars, and regaining his freedom was confounding, marked by guilt and the struggle to reintegrate into society. Battling PTSD and the emotional toll of his past, he faced the daunting challenge of rebuilding his life.

Yet, amidst the darkness, Simon discovered resilience. His journey is filled with hard-earned lessons that he now feels compelled to share. In Paying the Price he explores his crime, its fallout, and his quest for mental peace. It’s a cautionary tale about owning one’s mistakes, embracing vulnerability, and the power of redemption, illuminated by the kindness of those who supported him during his darkest days.

🌟 Congratulations to Pam Schindler, author of ‘Say, a River ‘(Ginninderra Press, 2023), for being shortlisted for the 2025 Tim Thorne Prize for Poetry in the Tasmanian Literary Awards! 🌟

What an incredible achievement! ✨ The judges were captivated by Pam's artistry, describing her work as "impressive," with "gentle and painterly tones" that evoke beautiful images filled with "washes of colour and movement."

They also praised the "concise and elegant" nature of her poems, which blend love, loss, and the stunning landscapes of Tasmania and south-east Queensland. There’s a "quiet dignity" in her exploration of grief—an acknowledgment of something far deeper than sadness.

Pam, your words continue to move and inspire. Wishing you all the best as you move forward in this well-deserved recognition! 🙌📚 The winners of the 2025 Tasmanian Literary Awards will be announced in Hobart on 26 March 2025.

You can order your copy of ‘Say, a River’ from Ginninderra Press.
