Bonnye Matthews
Bonnye Matthews, prolific Alaskan author, writes prehistoric fiction. According to Grace Cavalieri, award-winning poet/playwright, book reviewer, and host of The Poet and the Poem from the Library of Congress, Matthews is America's pre-eminent author of prehistoric fiction. According to George F. Steiner, Quaternary Geology and Pleistocene Cognitive Archaeology expert, “Her stories are fascinating and the science behind them is cutting edge.” The novel series focus is primarily the pre-ice age peopling of the Americas, and the novella series continues the same focus with a view of very old individual archaeological sites. There is a brief non-fictional accompaniment regarding her emerging western hemisphere population origin paradigm.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5this book is ok....unfortunately no better than ok.
I was very excited to read the book, because I love the Clan of the Cave Bear series and similar books.
Even though this book is not that long, it seemed very repetitive in parts and reading dragged. Usually I would read a 350 page book in an afternoon, but this one took me several days.
parts were interesting, others were too cliche and too similar to modern society and mores.
