Is Ruby Red originally a German book?

Yes. Kerstin Gier wrote it in German as "Rubinrot," first published in 2009 by Arena Verlag. It is the first book of the Edelstein-Trilogie (Precious Stone Trilogy), known in English as the Ruby Red Trilogy, and was translated into English by Anthea Bell as "Ruby Red" (published in the UK under the alternate title "Girl about Time").

What order do the Ruby Red / Edelstein-Trilogie books go in?

The trilogy is: 1. Rubinrot (Ruby Red), 2. Saphirblau (Sapphire Blue), 3. Smaragdgrün (Emerald Green). Each book follows Gwyneth Shepherd directly on from the previous one, so they are read in that order.
