A fresh modern Brisbane satire on romantic and not-so-romantic relationships? 


A wistful observation on the demise of the big old Australian back yard? Or, just a young woman looking for love and to feel truly at home this Christmas? As Meg records her tough journey through the social battlefield that greets any single woman, she picks up a paint brush and learns more about the world she thought she'd left behind. 

This year, she will be Home for Christmas. An Australian Christmas romance novella.
