I read most of her books as a teen. I liked that they were a bit more "innocent" compared to the slasher/splatter horror that was popular in the 80s. Plus, my mom collects antique dolls so I was completely freaked out by all the horrifying covers with blank, staring doll eyes - just like my home! Interesting that you single out "Jump Rope" as her worst book. That was the book I remember kind of 'divorcing' myself from RJJ. I had started college by that time and thought I was too cool to be reading such pulp novels. Plus that one just never really held my interest. I actually wonder if she started using ghost-writers for her later novels. They didn't seem to have quite the same spark as her earlier work. Maybe it was just both of us getting older...<br /><br />There used to be a really detailed website dedicated to Ruby Jean by a guy named Aaron Thompson. He had written to her and maintained a personal correspondence with her for a number of years. It hasn't been updated in years but you can check it out to see all her titles, including a number of pre-Zebra books. <br /><br />http://www.reocities.com/rubyfan/index2.htmlcdkinglahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15491944867372107160noreply@blogger.com
