About the Author

Ida Jack spent many years writing technical material but had a true love for writing stories. Determined to make time for a more satisfying form of writing, she sold her company and retired to the mountains where she has since written several novels. The ghost from her childhood, of an old woman that sat on an apple crate, actually haunted her into writing this story some forty-seven years later. Based on the memory of the old queen, Ida created a fantasy by changing the names and using her high-powered imagination to achieve the final product called, "Dolly Crystal, Queen of the Circus."

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Read!, November 5, 2002

This review is from: Dolly Crystal, Queen Of The Circus (Paperback)

I loved this book. It was funny, sad, romantic and sexy.

The characters seem like real people and I see where all was possible, although pretty eccentric.

Not all will like this book. It is...hmmmmm....different. However, it is a fun time in fantasy land (or reality) with Dolly Crystal.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read! Couldn't put it down, September 16, 2005

This review is from: Dolly Crystal, Queen of the Circus (Hardcover)

I really liked this book a lot, I found that I couldn't put it down. When ever I did put it down, I found myself wondering, what is going to happen next!

The only down side was, I wish it was longer, I could have kept on reading. My hope is that there will be a sequel.
