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.
Losing her father, mother and sister to cancer in depressing hospice circumstances widened her outlook on the controversy of assisted suicide and involuntarily lead to her very first novel. The highly acclaimed Walk me to Midnight is a potent mixture of hair-raising suspense and actual social controversy in which Jane's personal antagonism against any form of assisted suicide is clearly portrayed.
Jane's remarkable writing career started at the tender age of five. Her first breakthrough came when she was still a student at Northwestern University and won a local magazine's short story contest. Since then she was unstoppable. A dozen of her stories and anthologies were published in literary magazines and children's books flowed from her pen like silkworms' thread. A whopping 54 of her children's stories were published as part of a reading project, followed by 17 children's books. She was also the ghost-writer of two non-fictional books.
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.
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.
