Date setting of Too Long To Die

I set Too Long To Die at 30,000 years ago, during Aurignacian period of the Upper Paleolithic. This stretched roughly from 34,000 to 23,000 years ago. It was a fascinating period when, suddenly, there seemed to be many innovative changes taking place. Weapons became much more sophisticated with advancements in stone knapping and the bow and arrow appeared for the first time. On a lighter note, painting, sculpture and music developed which may well have been used in religious rituals for the first time.

I felt that this was the time when early humans started to enrich their lives. Of course, survival in a harsh world was still priority but a sense of fun and enjoyment was emerging.  So I had to make their lives just a little bit more dangerous!

It reads so well, like you were there - maybe in a past life!

    About Pat Jackson

    Clutching a degree in Hispanic Studies, I joined the Army. After six great years, my husband took me to live in Spain. My adventures in that vibrant country have lasted over 18 years.

    Now I'm back home in Dorset, happily married, with one daughter and numerous pets.

    My life is filled with writing, tarot, spiritual healing and golf. I'm also a terrible clarinet player! 

    Lonell's second appearance as the world's first detective is well on its way.
