Dull security or risky freedom - which would you choose?
With her marriage in pieces, shy Cali Summers is faced with this decision and hits the world of fast love on an internet dating app.
Using room 102 in the hotel where she works as her dating 'lair', she opens herself up to a world of sex, lies, deception, as well as personal discovery and passionate love.
With a charming F1 engineer, a handsome army officer and her adulterous ex all on the scene, a predictable love match is far from on the cards.

Guest Post with Nicola May
Hi Nicola, welcome to Sincerely Book Angels
What was the
inspiration behind this novel?
I myself was looking for love so decided to try online
dating. My Tinder dates were a mixture
of good, bad and hilarious and I suddenly thought it would make very
interesting reading.
Did you always want
to be a writer?
No, I didn’t have a massive desire to be a writer at all. I
fell into it in my thirties. I was actually dared to run a half marathon. Being
a big party girl at the time I thought it would be amusing to write a training diary.
I finished the marathon, didn’t finish the diary but decided to start writing a
novel.
What other jobs have
you had?
Quite a few! Hence my first novel, Working it Out, about
Ruby who decides to embark on twelve jobs in twelve months to find the one of
her dreams. I’ve been an Events Manager (still am), a secretary, worked in a
hardware store. I’ve even been one of Santa’s little helpers at Lapland.
How did it feel when
your first novel was published?
I self-published originally five years ago. The buzz of
seeing my book in Waterstone’s window for the first time made me cry in the
street.
Have you ever had
writer's block? If so how did you overcome it?
I’m pretty lucky that when a book starts flowing I stay up
for silly hours writing. But, if ever I do need plot inspiration I go for a
walk in Windsor Great Park. I’m the mad one shouting ‘eureka’ out loud when a
great idea comes to me.
What motivates you to
keep writing?
My ambition to reach the Sunday Times Bestseller List.
Do your characters
moods ever affect your mood and vice versa?
Sometimes. It’s more the case that I have trouble jumping
back in to reality when I have been writing for long periods of time.
What three pieces of
advice would you give to an aspiring writer?
Don’t talk about, it do it! If I was given a pound for
everyone who said they had a book in them I’d be a millionaires.
Don’t reread and edit as you go. Get it down then go back
and edit.
Never give up
Which authors inspire
you?
Milly Johnson in my genre and Patrick Gale who writes dark
characters so amazingly, that I have learnt a lot about my own characterisation
from him.
What are you reading
at the moment?
I’m actually rereading one of my own, The School Gates, as
my new novel may well take on some of the same characters and I’m reacquainting
myself with them
If your book was made
into a film what song would you choose for the opening credits?
Now, if Bridget hadn’t already
taken ‘All by myself’... J So, I will go for Get Lucky by Daft Punk.
Who would you choose
to play your favourite character in the film of your book?
I would choose the gorgeous Patrick Dempsey to play one of
the male suitors, just so that I could meet him!
What is your next
book about?
It is about ‘bad’ mums and that’s all I can say at the
moment.
And now think about the books you've read and just give the
first one that comes into your head for our quickfire 'Which book round.'
Which book has made you:
Laugh out loud?
Water Melon – Marian Keyes
Cry your heart out?
A Widow for One Year – John
Irving
Want to read it again?
The Shell Seekers – Rosamunde
Pilcher
Think more?
Notes from an Exhibition – Patrick Gale
Wish it would be made into a film?
The Yorkshire
Pudding Club – Milly Johnson
Shocked?
The Island – Victoria Heslop
Scared?
I don’t read books that scare me
Thanks for joining us today Nicola and good luck with the book.
Sincerely
