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.
Jane grew up in Chicago and paid her way through varsity by embarking on a diverse variety of odd jobs that is also typical of her versatile and inquisitive nature. While studying for her degree in journalism at the Northwestern University, she entered and won a magazine's short story contest. That was her first break-through and set the stage for the series of short stories and numerous children's books that followed. Dozens of her stories were published in literary magazines, and she authored 54 children's stories, 17 children's books and two non-fiction books that were all published by different agencies.
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.
Jane is a self-confessed compulsive reader who quips she must have written half of what is on the internet today - including Blog Posts, advertisements, press releases and political speeches. You name it, this versatile and passionate writer has written about it! More than 50 of her children's stories and 21 children's books had been published - no small feat for a seasoned journalist and freelance writer who has also written hundreds of website articles on any possible subject under the sun - including a series on bullying.
A self-confessed compulsive reader who loves all books, but finds most very average, she is inspired by the great masters such as Shakespeare and Truman Capote. Some of her best stories were included in the two acclaimed collections Times Of Grace, Times Of Sorrow, and Mourning Sickness.
Jane's versatility and extensive general knowledge is clearly illustrated in the diverse subjects she write about. She seems to have no problem switching between imaginative stories for children to intricate controversial social topics, financial issues and medical conditions. Her sensitive blog musings about her desert home in Tucson, Arizona, called desert songs, speak to the heart and give readers a peek into the soul of this acclaimed artist.
Jane's stories and books have won many prestigious awards and accolades - including first place in the international True Life Story contest, Writers Network contest, American Accolades and a contest for television writing. She is also a semi-finalist in the 2014 Ruminate Contest.
