She earned her journalism degree by working as a factory welder and cocktail waitress. She wrote more stories and children's books than she cares to remember and the internet is flooded with her non-fiction articles on every subject under the sun. Then she penned a suspense thriller, Walk Me To Midnight, around the hot controversial topic of assisted suicide and voila - Jane St. Clair's first novel propelled her way beyond midnight into shiny stardom.
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.
A passionate camp fighter against social injustices and fearless campaigner for the rights of the underdog, Jane also serves on the director's board of an organisation that advocates the rights of cancer patients and their families. Her strong adversity to assisted suicide is clearly portrayed in Walk Me To Midnight.
Best-selling author Truman Capote has a significant influence on her life and writing. Although she rates most authors a mere 3 out of 5 for being average, she also has her 5-star heroes such as the all-time word magicians William Shakespeare, Tolstoy, Jane Austen and other gurus whom she admires.
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.
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.
