(AP) - Jean M. Auel, the Portland
resident and world- renowned au­
thor, may not be done with "Earth's
Children," afterall.
"The Land of Painted Caves,"
the sixth and supposedly final book
of her multimillion-selling series,
comes out in March. But Auel says
she has not stopped thinking about
her heroine Ayla and her adven­
tures in prehistoric times.
"To be honest, 1 don't feel like I'm
through," the author, 74, told The
Associated Press during a recent
telephone interview. "I still have
some material and I'm going to keep
on writing. It's what I do."
Fascinated by life from thousands
of years ago, to the point where she
learned how to make an ice cave and
name starring Daryl Hannah as Ayla,
the orphaned Cro-Magnon raised
by Neanderthals.
The first three novels of the se­
ries were completed by the mid-
1980s but then Auel slowed down.
The fourth book, "The Plains of
Passage," took five years to write.
The fifth, "The Shelters of Stone,"
took more than a decade. Auel
needed eight years for "The Land of
Painted Caves."
"I was raising a family, having
grandchildren. Life gets in the way,"
says Auel, who at her current pace
would be in her 80s by the time a
seventh volume came out. "All the
books have been difficult to write.
The sixth book in Jean M. Auel's On the first one, I was really spend­
‘Earth's Children ’ series is sched­ ing all my time on that book, 24-7 as
u le d fo r re le a s e in M arch. they say now. I worked on it from the
time I got up to the time I went to bed,
tan leather, Auel started the series every single day. At that time, I just
in her early 40s and debuted in 1980 had to write that story. I still have to
with "The Clan of the Cave Bear," write that story but it's different.
which later became a film of the same You lose a little drive."
