Because I know there are a few fans of Auel's Earth's Children series amongst us.
I have just found out that book 5 (called Shelters of Stone) is to be released in May 2002. At last!! - I just had to share, but as usual I'm probably the last to know.

10 years is too long to wait for the next installment...
But I'm sure it will be worth the wait, and I understand that the 6th and final book of the series will follow shortly behind.

Auel fans ought to check out this forum:

http://onebridgehome.com/auelboard/

It's a very friendly place that welcomes anyone with an interest in the books, and some of them get up to prehistoric role-playing, that sort of thing.

Oh, and by the way, this is my 1000th post! I wanted to use it on the books forum.
