She is one of America's most versatile and accomplished writers and a self-acclaimed compulsive reader who even peruses the small print on a cereal box. She started writing at the age of five, and never stopped. Jane St. Clair lives in a world of words - a world that does not only suit her like a glove, but also compensates her with endless pleasure, awards and fame.
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.
Jane reads just as extensively and compulsively as what she writes. Although she rates most books as average, she has great regard for the true masters such as Shakespeare, Tolstoy, Austen, Chekov and Truman Capote. The latter had a big influence on her writing career.
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.
This compassionate writer is also a camp fighter for the rights of hospice patients and their families as a board member of Hospice Patients Alliance. Her highly acclaimed first novel, Walk me to Midnight, is dedicated to hospice nurses and their plight to protect the rights of their patients - also against legal assisted suicide.
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.
