Jamie Scarrat
Jamie lives on the edge of the rugged beauty of the Peak District with two cats but not with her American partner of three years-they are still trying to find a way to live on the same continent.

Brought up in rural South Warwickshire, Jamie gained a degree in Architectural Studies at Sheffield University and then stayed. After drifting into software design and development some fifteen years ago, she still hasn't escaped. While she works with the technology of the present, what interests her is the past. After years as a re-enactor and living historian, she is now studying archaeology part-time. A keen reader, writing is a recent development, drawing on her favourite genres of historical and speculative fiction.

30 Days Hath September
is her first book.






30 Days Hath September

In 1927, Red Wolverton, Boston's only female private investigator, has a penchant for men's clothing and female lovers.

Evadne Davenport, a well-educated, wealthy, and widowed socialite has a desire for adventure and intrigue and would like nothing more than the chance to send her mother-in-law into a screaming apoplectic fit. To that end, Evadne is determined to become Red's secretary.

Red hires Evadne, but the new secretary doesn't last a full day. Then a ghastly murder prompts Red to pursue a destructive course for vengeance. Danger escalates, and Red and Evadne find themselves reunited, joining forces to cope with violence, deceit, and death.

Their friendship grows and deepens, but so does the evil they're faced with. Will their burgeoning relationship survive? Will they prevail over the dark forces that threaten their very lives, or will an ancient force be unleashed to change their world forever?
