Jane St. Clair's Fruit Of The Pen Is As Colorful And Versatile As Her Own Personal Life

By Elsa Noel


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.

This versatile and talented writer started her journalism career in the poverty-stricken ghettos of Chicago where she became the voice for those who had no voice. Having lost both parents and a sister to cancer in hospices, she has first-hand knowledge and experience of the plight of cancer patients on proverbial death row in these settings.

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.

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.

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.
