Honestly, I avoided most of the problems by limiting the viewpoint to primarily just the two main characters in a very small area. I did do a lot of research on prehistory Pecs, Hungary area, mostly for edible flora and fauna of the time. I didn't have to research much in the way of culture and lifestyle, since it was just my own creation. Good luck to you! :)

Faerun. I'd become an adventurer and live with Drizzt Do'urden. lol

That's awesome! Yes, I'm originally from Oxford and attended both Talawanda and Miami University! Small world! :D

Homo savage, my own creation. :) He's basically Homo sapiens, but lacks Broca's area (the speech center of the brain). So glad you enjoyed it!

I would love to have all my books available on audio, but I'm at the mercy of the producers. So far, it's just Transcendence, Surviving Raine, and Bastian's Storm. Glad you enjoyed it!

A book? A whole SERIES of books! The Evan Arden series consists of six books, starting with Otherwise Alone. He also appears in Bastian's Storm, the second book in the Surviving Raine series. He's one of my favorite characters of all times!

He's Homo savage. LOL! He's nearly identical to Homo sapiens, but lacks Brocca's area, so no capacity for language. I just made it up - artistic license. :)

All of my books have a romance component. If you're looking for the "sweeter" stuff, try Win Some, Lose Some or Judging Books. Edgier books include Surviving Raine (alpha-jerk who's a survival expert), Deklan (mafia arranged marriage) or Alarm (for the dirty talk). With 40+ titles, you are bound to find something else you like!

{SPOILERS!!!!}
By the time Beh's father enters the picture, Beh already knows her fate, and has accepted it. There is a conversation between Beh and her father about the dangers of time travel in general, and that taking more than one additional person back and forth was problematic. That also played into her reasons for staying. Beh knows Ehd would never survive in the modern world, and she couldn't leave him behind.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi there, and thank you so much! :D
Being an Indie author has its challenges, but can also be very rewarding! I am definitely a bit of a control freak, so that played into my decision to do all this on my own, and it certainly allows me a lot more freedom in what I bring to readers. Hopefully, I'll be able to continue to do that for a long time!
Good luck to you!

Ehd had been on his own since he was a young teenager. He was also around 18-19 when he found Beh. They had their last child around age 30, and lived to be in the 50s.

My fabulous readers and being my own boss.

Force myself to write a certain number of words. That usually does the trick. Sometimes I'll sit in front of the television with a legal pad and a pen, just jotting down ideas that become scenes later.
Shay Savage
The complete set will be available this summer!
Shay Savage
I don't plan a follow up with these characters, but I also never say never. :) Glad you enjoyed them!
Shay Savage
There was a group of people on social media talking about alpha males acting like cavemen. I wondered what an actual caveman would be like, and Ehd was born. :)
