It is always exciting when readers get involved and ask questions about the ideas behind the story, and for the first time someone has actually queried the title of my novel and the fact that it should be Thirty Days Has September.
When I came up with the concept of Thirty Days it was because, for some crazy reason, I had the the Mother Goose version floating around my head (Well that, and a load of other baby rhymes that go along with having a three year old!). I loved the idea of taking the reader on a journey through each day of a month and knew from the start that the story was so much much bigger than just one book. So the idea took shape of a series; one based along the lines of the rhyme to encompass nine months, the time it would take for my main character to fall pregnant and have her baby. And then then the internal debate started; to have or to has!
I wanted to keep the idea of the series so I took the leap of using 'have' rather than 'has' as a way of binding the series together. So while technically it should be 'has', by the time all four books have been published I will have a series titled Thirty Days Have September, November, April & June.
Thirty days have September,
April, June, and November.
All the rest have 31,
Except February alone,
And that has 28 days clear,
And 29 in a leap year.
Thirty days have September,
April, June, and November
All the rest have 31,
Except for February.
