Author may not be done with 'Earth's Children'

[November 04, 2010]  NEW YORK (AP) -- Jean Auel (OWL') may not be done with "Earth's Children," after all.

"The Land of Painted Caves," the sixth and supposedly final book of her multimillion-selling series, is coming out in March. But Auel says she has not stopped thinking about Ayla and her adventures from thousands of years ago.

"To be honest, I don't feel like I'm through," the author, 74, told The Associated Press during a telephone interview Wednesday. "I still have some material and I'm going to keep on writing. It's what I do."
