It’s August, and that time of year when I walk away from the word processor, kick back, and spend quality time with my two grills and smoker.

Yo DT, shouldn’t you be adding pages to that sci-fi story you’re stuck on.

Damned muse. Always giving me shit when I’m not focused on important stuff – like finishing the book. Annoying little bastard, but easily silenced with a couple cocktails and fibbing that it’s world building research for a dystopian tale I’ve been trying to finish since last year. Or was it the year before?

Exactly when humans began to burn meat over fire remains controversial. Scientists originally believed the early meat eaters ate sushi style, fresh off the bone, and didn’t start barbequing until 800,000 years ago. Then in 2012, a South African Primatologist examined evidence from the Wonderwerk Cave, where sediments revealed presence of burned bone in a campfire over a million years old.

About DT

dtkrippene

dtkrippene

A native of Wisconsin and Connecticut, DT deserted aspirations of being a biologist to live the corporate dream and raise a family. After seven homes, a ten-year stint working in Asia, and an imagination that never slept, his muse refused to be hobbled as a mere dream. DT writes science fiction, paranormal, and mystery. DT has published several short stories. “Hell of a Deal” in the paranormal collection - Untethered; “Man’s Best Friend” in the 2021 Best Indie Book for Fiction - Fur, Feathers, and Scales; and "The Lost Gold of Rhyolite" in the award-winning - An Element of Mystery. He now has two short stories in the newly released holiday anthology – Seasons Greetings; “The Heart Needs a Home” and “Millie’s Christmas Wine.” An active member of the Bethlehem Writers Group, he’s been a featured author in the BWG Writers Roundtable Magazine. His latest project is an apocalyptic tale of humans on the edge of extinction and a young man born years after surviving humans had been rendered sterile. You can find D.T. on his website, dtkrippene.com - Searching for Light in the Darkness; and his social media links on Facebook and Pinterest.
