		Jean Marie Untinen was born February 18, 1936 in Chicago, Illinois, the second of five children.
		In the rewriting process, Auel decided that each part was actually a novel in itself, which led to the outline for a series of six books.
		Auel's research has taken her to prehistoric sites in France, Austria, Czechoslovakia, the Ukraine, the Soviet Union, Hungary, and Germany.

	"An Evening With Jean Auel"
		Auel is also quick to acknowledge the MCL as being at least the incubator, if not the birthplace, of her series and writing career.
		Jean Auel did not begin to write fiction until three of her children were in college and two were in high school.
		Jean said she thought of Ayla as 6' (which is what I had thought), but that her husband, Ray, had designed the posters (Jean is petite, so her husband might consider 5'6' tall).

	After 12 years, Auel revives Ayla (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Her creator, Jean M. Auel, is buffing the manuscript of The Shelters of Stone, the fifth installment of the best-selling Ice Age series that began with The Clan of the Cave Bear in 1980.
		(Auel hated the movie.) But writing the series has allowed Auel to pursue her passion for research, delving into subjects such as herbs, glaciers, animals, archaeology and Neanderthals.
		Auel believes the reason that "The Earth's Children" books are global best sellers is because her tale of prehistoric survival resonates across national borders.

	Borders - Feature - Archaeology Groupie: Jean Auel brings another book back from the Ice Age
		In The Clan of the Cave Bear, Auel introduced Ayla to readers as a scared, wounded girl running from the earthquake that killed her parents.
		Auel was at a transitional time in her own life when she first imagined her Stone Age girl.
		Auel's fascination with these areas of study began in the public library, but it has since taken her around the world, to professional conferences and on archaeological digs.

		Although Jean Auel obviously takes certain liberties with the actions and motivations of all our ancestors, her extensive research into the Ice Age does shine through--especially in the detailed knowledge of plants and natural remedies used by the medicine woman and passed down to Ayla.
		Auel made good use of her knowledge of medicinal herbs (although some of plants she names are native to North America not Europe where the action takes place).
		Auel's contrast between the traditional people who relied on memory for survival versus the new people who could think and reason and viewed the world as "cause and effect" is insightful and profound.

	BookPage Interview April 2002: Jean Auel
		Speculation concerning her demise by various, even nefarious, means has dogged the 66-year-old Portland, Oregon, novelist throughout the 11 years it has taken her to complete The Shelters of Stone, book five in the projected six-book Earth's Children series that began with The Clan of the Cave Bear in 1980.
		As Auel steeped herself in the Pleistocene epoch (roughly 25,000-35,000 years ago), the story grew into a 450,000-word "outline" for six books based on Ayla's adventures.
		Fans may not like the one surprise in the final book that Auel is willing to share: Ayla will not be reunited with Durc, her son from a Neanderthal rape.

		Jean Auel's fifth novel about Ayla, the Cro-Magnon cavewoman raised by Neanderthals, is the biggest comeback bestseller in Amazon.com history.
		Auel does treat us to many, many examples of what Ayla's accent sounds like (she rolls her rs.) There are also a few clinical sex scenes thrown in.
		Auel was a new writer and not an established author with several bestsellers backing her up, there's no way this book would have seen the light of day.

	The Shelters of Stone by Jean Auel , A Review by Bobby Matherne
		Auel carefully explains the "memories" of the Clan of the Cave Bear who lived in a valley.
		Auel's books are always crammed with amazing insights as to how things we know and do today were arrived at.
		Thus a baby born from a mating of a Neanderthal father and a Cro-Magnon mother ("mixed spirits")would be a very difficult delivery due to the simultaneous occurrence of a large brain and an incomplete or absent tectonic plate adaptation ("they don't give as much").

	BookLoons Reviews - Shelters of Stone by Jean Auel
		Auel has a reputation for doing her research and the books abound with details of everyday prehistoric life, based on information available in the archaeological literature.
		However, Auel is very skillful at breathing life into the facts and putting flesh on the bare bones of academic knowledge.
		Auel has the unfortunate tendency (common to many writers of historical fiction) of falling in love with their research material and wanting to include all of it in the book.

	bookideas.com: The Mammoth Hunters by Jean Auel
		It is obvious that Auel has done much anthropological research on this subject, and does a great job of hypothesizing how these peoples might have lived.
		In Auel's Series, contact between the Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons is extremely rare, and their understanding of how each other lives is so sparse that both races consider the other little more than animal.
		Unfortunately, Auel seems to use the later novels to show the reader how much research she has done on the flora, fauna, and topography of the Ice Age.

		The story is lyric rather than dramatic, and Ayla and her lovers are projections of a romantic rather than a historical imagination, but readers caught up in the charm of Auel's story probably won't care.
		This whole book seems like filler that Jean M. Auel inflicted on us just because she decided this series should have six books in it before she started the series.
		Auel's technical writing background stood out as I slogged through page after page of some of the weakest dialogue I've EVER read.
