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.
Born and bred in Chicago, she paid for her studies in journalism at the Northwestern University by doing a multitude of odd jobs, including working as a factory welder and a cocktail waitress. Her passion for people and life's intricacies - especially the plight of the underdog - came through when her first job as qualified journalist took her to the ghettos of Chicago where she worked as welfare caseworker. Her career took many twists and turns and she covered a broad spectrum in the media field - from TV programs to daily and weekly newspapers - and from rural Indiana to Kentucky.
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.
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.
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.
