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.
She started her journalism career fighting for the underdog in Chicago's underworld before she joined main media corporations. She worked for Sesame Street in New York, Channel 11/PBS TV in Chicago and as reporter/photographer for daily and weekly newspapers in rural Indiana and Kentucky. As freelance website writer, she has written innumerable non-fiction articles about a wide variety of topics - including a popular series about bullies.
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.
Jane's expansive knowledge and vast field of interest is evident in the variety of fictional and non-fictional writings she mastered in a variety of genres. Apart from her series and Arizona desert songs, she also published two full-length non-fiction books on psychology and etiquette and various e-books on a wide variety of diverse topics, including medical conditions such as ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and Asperger Syndrome.
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.
