One of the most versatile, acclaimed and well-published writers in modern time, this author admits she has been writing all her life and can't even remember what she did before the writing bug ensnared her at the age of five. Equally adept at describing heartwarming sunsets in Arizona, writing hard core news on politics and finances, writing short stories for children or a suspense thriller, multiple-awarded Jane St. Clair's fruit of the pen is as colorful and versatile as her own personal life.
Jane's latest achievement - her first novel - propelled her remarkable career into yet another dimension. Walk me to Midnight is a suspense thriller based on Clair's own personal experience and views on the controversial topic of assisted suicide. Having lost both parents and a sister to cancer and spending months in the dreary confinements of hospices awaiting their death, Clair has gained strong viewpoints on the topic. But cancer, death and assisted suicide is just some of the myriads of topics that this multi-awarded writer, journalist and blogger has strong opinions and plenty knowledge about.
Losing her father, mother and sister to cancer in depressing hospice circumstances widened her outlook on the controversy of assisted suicide and involuntarily lead to her very first novel. The highly acclaimed Walk me to Midnight is a potent mixture of hair-raising suspense and actual social controversy in which Jane's personal antagonism against any form of assisted suicide is clearly portrayed.
Jane's remarkable writing career started at the tender age of five. Her first breakthrough came when she was still a student at Northwestern University and won a local magazine's short story contest. Since then she was unstoppable. A dozen of her stories and anthologies were published in literary magazines and children's books flowed from her pen like silkworms' thread. A whopping 54 of her children's stories were published as part of a reading project, followed by 17 children's books. She was also the ghost-writer of two non-fictional books.
In what she describes as her day job, Jane has written enough non-fictional website articles and e-books about a variety of topics to fill a library. Her journalism career took her from TV scripts to daily and weekly newspapers in New York, Chicago, Louisville, Indiana and Kentucky. There is hardly a topic that she has not written about - from political campaign speeches, advertisements and financial issues to hard core national news events.
Her versatility is evident in the ease with which she masters different genres and media platforms. Children's books, essays and sentimental desert songs flow as easily from her hand as political speeches, financial guidelines, advertorials, press releases and hardcore national news reports. Apart from two non-fiction books on psychology and etiquette respectively, she also published numerous e-books on diverse topics such as ways to locate a lost cat and beauty tips for teenagers.
Her series about financial literacy was a mammoth hit on the internet and received various national awards. Her collections of short stories and essays were published in literary magazines. One of these collections, Times of Grace, Times of Sorrow, is about the American heartlands and was published by the University of Nebraska.
She won numerous awards over the years, including first place prizes in the True Story contest (2007), The Writers Network Contest (2006), American Accolades, and many more. With her latest achievement and first suspense thriller, Walk me to Midnight, she has just entered another domain in an extraordinary accomplished career.
