Jean Auel's long-awaited The Shelters of Stone, the next in her Earth's Children series, is on its way. (You may remember Clan of the Cave Bear. That's part of it.)

If you have a PC, you can go to Crown's website and see streaming video interviews with the author about the book.

If you named your child Ayla, after one of the book's characters, the company also is having a contest. If your child is named Ayla, they want to know. The winner will receive a leather-bound Shelters of Stone. And all you have to do is brand a child for life with the name of a cave girl. So start naming those kids now.

Or renaming yourself, if you really want that book.
