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.
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.
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 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.
A self-confessed compulsive reader who loves all books, but finds most very average, she is inspired by the great masters such as Shakespeare and Truman Capote. Some of her best stories were included in the two acclaimed collections Times Of Grace, Times Of Sorrow, and Mourning Sickness.
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.
