	"An Evening With Jean Auel"
		Jean Auel did not begin to write fiction until three of her children were in college and two were in high school.
		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 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
		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
		Auel was at a transitional time in her own life when she first imagined her Stone Age girl.
		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.
		Readers knew she was a writer—a good writer—as soon as they encountered Auel's uncanny ability to bestow a complex humanity upon her long-vanished hominids.

	BookPage Interview April 2002: Jean Auel
		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.
		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.

	Amazon.com: The Shelters of Stone (Earth's Children Series, No 5): Books: Jean M. Auel
		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.
		The plot is slow to unfold, because Auel's first goal is to pack the tale with period Pleistocene detail, provocative speculation, and bits of romance, sex, tribal politics, soap opera, and homicidal wooly rhino-hunting adventure.

	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 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.
		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.

	bookideas.com: The Mammoth Hunters by Jean Auel
		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.
		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.

		"This book, which marks Jean Auel's personal transition from electronic technicial to full-time writer, tells the tale of a band of prehistoric hunter-gatherers living on the Crimean Peninsula near the shores of the Black Sea...She has written an exciting, imaginative and intuitively solid book." - John Pfeiffer 08/31/1980

	Jean Auel - The Book Forum
		I was a little surprised to read the less than flattering remarks about Jean Auel's books from others posting.
		I enjoy Jean Auel's writing though was far from impressed with SOS.
		When The Shelters of Stone came out, I remember reading a interview with Auel, where she said, I believe, that there would be 2 more and fans shouldn't look for Ayla to be reunited with her child.

	"An Evening With Jean Auel"
		Jean Auel did not begin to write fiction until three of her children were in college and two were in high school.
		Jean's body language clearly said, 'I'd hoped that one wouldn't come up this time.' She said that sex was a natural part of life, and, since she was describing everything else, to leave it out would be a cop-out.
		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).
