This Is Not A Love Song is a collection of short love stories from all around Australia, with only a few happy endings but many possibilities.

Travellers arrive in small towns and find unconventional love with people who are much more than what they first seem. The Sydney / Melbourne dilemma also raises its head, with people arriving or leaving the cities for love that never quite reaches its peak.

Nights out seeing bands, drugs stolen from dealers, barmaids and girls on the beach. Homecomings, falling in love with places, a mystical new bar and a lover’s betrayal. You’ll find these, and much more, in Sean O’Leary’s ‘This Is Not A Love Song.’
