Clark began writing at an early age. After several years working as a secretary and copy editor, Clark spent a year as a stewardess for Pan-American Airlines before leaving her job to marry and start a family. She supplemented the family's income by writing short stories. After her husband died in 1959, Clark worked for many years writing four-minute radio scripts, until her agent convinced her to try writing novels. Her debut novel, a fictionalized account of the life of George Washington, did not sell well, and she decided to leverage her love of mystery/suspense novels. Her suspense novels became very popular, and as of 2007 her books have sold more than 80 million copies in the United States alone.^[2] Flight attendant in an Embraer ERJ 145 LR of PBair, Thailand In aviation, flight attendants - formerly known as sky girls, stews, air hostesses, stewardesses or stewards - are members of a flight crew employed by airlines to ensure the safety and comfort of the passengers aboard commercial flights. ...

Her work dwells primarily on a central theme: the psychological trauma endured and overcome by her strong female characters.^[3] Clark, known as the "Queen of Suspense",^[1] was also the inspiration for the Mary Higgins Clark Award, given by the Mystery Writers of America. She is the mother of author Carol Higgins Clark^[4] and formerly the mother-in-law of author Mary Jane Clark.^[5] Carol Higgins Clark (1956 - ) is an American mystery author. ...

Early Years (1927-1945)

===Child Theresa Eleanor Higgins was born December 24, 1927,^[6] the second child and only daughter of Irish immigrant Luke Higgins and his wife Nora, who was of Irish descent.^[7] Clark arrived less than nineteen months after the birth of her older brother, Joseph, and her younger brother Johnny followed three years later.^[8] Even as a small child Clark was interested in writing, composing her first poem at age six and often crafting short plays for her friends to enact.^[3] She began keeping a journal when she was seven, noting in her very first entry that "Nothing much happened today."^[9] is the 358th day of the year (359th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 1927 (MCMXXVII) was a common year starting on Saturday (link will display full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The family lived off the profits of their Irish pub and were fairly well-off, owning a home in the Bronx as well as a summer cottage on Long Island Sound.^[10][11] Although the Great Depression began when Clark was still a baby, her family was initially not affected, and even insisted on feeding the men who knocked on their door looking for work.^[12] By the time Clark was ten, however, the family began to experience financial trouble, as many of their customers were unable to pay the tabs they had run up.^[13] Clark's father was forced to lay off several employees and work longer hours, spending no more than a few hours at home each day. The family was thrown into further turmoil in 1939, when young Mary returned home from an early Mass to discover that her father had died in his sleep.^[7] For other uses, see The Bronx (disambiguation). ... New York City waterways: 1. ... For other uses, see The Great Depression (disambiguation). ... Wikipedia does not yet have an article with this exact name. ...

Nora Higgins, now a widow with three young children to support, soon discovered that few employers were willing to hire a 52-year-old woman who had not held a job in over fourteen years.^[14] To pay the bills, Clark was forced to move out of her bedroom so that her mother could rent it out to paying boarders.^[15]

Six months after their father's death, Clark's elder brother cut his foot on a piece of metal and contracted severe osteomyelitis. Clark and her mother prayed constantly for him, and their neighbors came en masse to give blood for the many transfusions the young boy needed. Despite the dire predictions of the doctors, Joseph Higgins survived. Clark credits his recovery to the power of their prayers.^[16] Osteomyelitis is an infection of bone, usually caused by pyogenic bacteria or mycobacteria. ...

High School

When Clark graduated from Saint Francis Xavier Grammar School she received a scholarship to continue her education at the Villa Maria Academy, a school run by the nuns of the Congregation de Notre Dame de Montreal.^[17] There, the principal and other teachers encouraged Clark to develop her writing, although they were somewhat less than pleased when she began spending her class time writing stories instead of paying attention to the lesson.^[3] At sixteen Clark made her first attempt at publishing her work, sending an entry to True Confessions which was rejected.^[1] True Confessions was a magazine published by Fawcett Publications, beginning in the 1920s. ...

To help pay the bills, she worked as a switchboard operator at the Shelton Hotel, where she often listened in to the residents' conversations. In her memoir she recalls spending much time eavesdropping on Tennessee Williams, but complained that he never said anything interesting. On her days off, Clark would window shop, mentally choosing the clothes she would wear when she finally became a famous writer.^[18] Thomas Lanier Williams III (March 26, 1911 – February 25, 1983), better known by the nickname Tennessee Williams, was a major American playwright of the twentieth century who received many of the top theatrical awards for his work. ...

Despite Clark's contribution to the family finances, the money her mother earned babysitting^[19] was not enough, and the family lost their house and moved into a small three-room apartment. When Joseph graduated from high school in 1944, he immediately enlisted in the Navy, both to serve his country during war and to help his mother pay her bills. Six months after his enlistment he contracted spinal meningitis and died.^[20] Although the family mourned Joseph's death deeply, as his dependent, Nora Higgins was guaranteed a pension for life, and no longer needed her daughter's help to pay the bills.^[21]

Early Careers (1945-1949)

Soon after Joseph died, Clark graduated from high school and chose to attend Wood Secretarial School on a partial scholarship. After completing her coursework the following year, she accepted a job as the secretary to the head of the creative department in the internal advertising division at Remington-Rand.^[22] She soon enrolled in evening classes to learn more about advertising and promotion. Her growing skills, as well as her natural beauty, were noticed by her boss and others in the company, and her job was expanded to include writing catalog copy (alongside future novelist Joseph Heller) and to model for the company brochures with a then-unknown Grace Kelly.^[23] Joseph Heller (May 1, 1923 – December 12, 1999) was an American satirical novelist and playwright. ... For the Mika song, see Grace Kelly (song). ...

Although she enjoyed her job, Clark's imagination was sparked by an acquaintance's casual comment, "God, it was beastly hot in Calcutta."^[24] Inspired to become a flight attendant like her acquaintance, Clark underwent rigorous interviews to earn a position as a stewardess for Pan American Airlines, making five dollars fewer a week than her secretarial job.^[25] Her supervisor at Remington-Rand hosted a goodbye dinner for her, and Clark invited her neighbor, Warren Clark, whom she had admired for years, to be her date. By the end of the evening Warren Clark had informed her that he thought she should work as a stewardess for a year and then they should be married the following Christmas. Clark accepted the somewhat unorthodox proposal.^[26] Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) was the United States principal international airline from the 1930s until its collapse in 1991, and was credited with many innovations that shaped the international airline industry. ...

For most of 1949, she worked the Pan Am international flights, traveling through Europe, Africa and Asia. One of her flights became the last flight allowed into Czechoslovakia before the Iron Curtain fell.^[6] On another of her flights, Clark escorted a four year old orphaned child down the steps of the airplane into the waiting arms of her adoptive mother, a scene that was heavily televised.^[27] Warsaw Pact countries to the east of the Iron Curtain are shaded red; NATO members to the west of it — blue. ...

Marriage and Early Publication Attempts (1950-1959)

At the end of her year of flying, on December 26, 1949, Clark happily gave up her career to marry Warren Clark.^[28] To occupy herself, she began taking writing courses at NYU^[1] and, with some of her classmates, formed a writing workshop in which the members would critique each other's works in progress. The workshop, which persisted for almost forty years, met weekly, and at each meeting two members would have 20 minutes each to present their latest work. The other members would then have three minutes each to offer constructive criticism.^[29] New York University (NYU) is a private, nonsectarian, coeducational research university in New York City. ...

One of her professors at NYU told the class that they should develop plot ideas by reading newspapers and asking "Suppose...?" and "What If." Clark says she still gets many of her ideas by asking those questions, along with "Why?"^[30] For her first NYU writing assignment she used this method to expand her own experiences into a short story called "Stowaway", about a stewardess who finds a stowaway from Czechoslovakia on her plane.^[31] Although her professor offered high praise for the story, Clark was continually frustrated in her attempt to find a publisher. Finally, in 1956, after six years and forty rejections, Extension Magazine agreed to purchase the story for $100.^[6]

While those six years were devoid of professional milestones, on a personal level Clark and her husband were very busy. Their first child, Marilyn, was born nine months after their wedding, with Warren Jr. arriving thirteen months later, and a third child, David, born two years after his brother. Two months after Clark's short story sold, the fourth baby made her appearance and was promptly named Carol, after the heroine in her mother's story.^[32]

After selling that first short story, Clark began regularly finding homes for her works. Through the writer's workshop she met an agent, Patricia Schartle Myrer, who agreed to represent her. Myrer, who represented Clark for twenty years until her retirement, became such a good friend that Clark named her fifth and last child for her.^[33]

While Warren worked and Clark wrote, they encouraged their children to find ways to earn money as well, with all five children eventually taking professional acting and modeling jobs. Young Patty served as a Gerber baby, while David was featured in a national United Way ad. Clark herself filmed a television commercial for Fab laundry detergent. The commercial, which aired during the I Love Lucy show, earned her enough money that she and Warren were able to take a trip to Hawaii.^[34] Gerber baby Gerber is a famous baby food brand that began being produced in 1928 at the Fremont Canning Company, owned by Daniel Frank Gerber, in Fremont, Michigan. ...

In 1959, Warren Clark was diagnosed with severe angina, and, although he curtailed his activities on his doctor's order, he suffered three heart attacks within the next five years, each time returning from the hospital in poorer health. After the last heart attack in 1964 they felt that Warren would be unable to work again, so Clark called a friend who wrote scripts for radio shows to see if there were any job openings. The day that she accepted a job writing the radio segment "Portrait of a Patriot," Warren suffered a fatal heart attack. His mother, who was visiting at the time, collapsed at his bedside upon discovering that he was dead. In one night, Clark lost her husband and her mother-in-law.^[35] angina tonsillaris see tonsillitis. ...

First Novel (1960-1970)

Clark's initial contract to be a radio scriptwriter obligated her to write 65 four-minute programs for the Portrait of a Patriot series. Her work was good enough that she was soon asked to write two other radio series. This experience fitting an entire sketch into four minutes taught Clark how to write cleanly and succinctly, traits that are incredibly important to a suspense novel, which must advance the plot with every paragraph.^[36] Despite the security offered by her new job, money was tight in the beginning as she strove to raise five children aged five to thirteen alone. For their first Christmas without Warren, Clark's sole gift to her children were personalized poems describing the things she wished she could have purchased for them.^[37]

By the late 1960s, the short story market had collapsed. The Saturday Evening Post, which in 1960 named Clark's short story "Beauty Contest at Buckingham" one of their ten best of the year, had decided to stop publishing fiction, and many of the popular ladies magazines were focusing on self-help articles instead of fiction.^[38] Because her short stories were no longer able to find a publisher, Clark's agent suggested that she try writing a full-length novel.^[1] Leveraging her research and experience with the Portraits of a Patriot series, Clark spent the next three  years writing a fictionalized account of the relationship between George and Martha Washington.^[19] The book did sell, and although the advance was small, it gave Clark confidence that she could indeed finish a full-length book and find a publisher.^[3] The novel "was remaindered as it came off the press,"^[6] and, to make matters worse, four months after the publication of the novel, Clark's mother Nora Higgins died.^[39] A cover of the Saturday Evening Post from 1903, illustrated by George Gibbs. ...

A remaindered book is one whose publisher has allowed it to go out of print, and is liquidating their remaining unsold copies by selling them at greatly reduced prices. ...

Entering the Suspense Genre (1970-1980)

To ensure that her children would not have to struggle financially, Clark was determined that they should have good educations. To provide a good example she entered Fordham University at Lincoln Center in 1971, graduating summa cum laude in 1979, with a B.A. in philosophy.^[6] Her children followed her example. The two eldest, Marilyn and Warren, have become judges, and Patty works at the Mercantile Exchange in New York City. David is the president and CEO of Talk Marketing Enterprises, Inc, and Carol has authored many popular suspense novels.^[19] Fordham University is a private, coeducational research university[3] in the United States, with three campuses located in and around New York City. ...

During this time Clark became increasingly frustrated with her employer, and, although two of her children were partially dependent on her for their college tuition, she quit her job and joined two of her former colleagues in forming their own company to write and market radio scripts. To scrape up the $5000 she needed to start the business, Clark was forced to pawn her engagement ring, and, for the eight months it took the company to become profitable, she did not receive a salary, further straining the family finances.^[40]

Where Are the Children? book cover

Clark continued writing even during these hard times. Encouraged by her agent to try writing another book, Clark returned to the suspense stories that she loved as a child and which had provided her first success as a short story writer. While she was in the midst of writing the story, her younger brother Johnny died, leaving her the sole surviving member of her family. To temporarily forget her heartache, Clark threw herself into her writing, and soon finished the novel.^[41] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Very quickly after the novel, Where are the Children? was completed, Simon and Schuster agreed to purchase it for the relatively small sum of $3000. Three months later, in July 1974, Clark received word that the paperback rights for the same novel had sold for one hundred thousand dollars. For the first time in many years she had no immediate financial worries.^[42] Jean-François Millet Le Semeur (The Sower) Simon & Schuster logo, circa 1961. ...

Where Are the Children? became a bestseller and was favorably reviewed.^[6] Two years after its publication Clark sold her second suspense novel for $1.5 million.^[37] A bestseller is a book that is identified as extremely popular by its inclusion on lists of currently top selling titles that are based on publishing industry and booktrade figures and published by newspapers, magazines, or bookstore chains. ...

Additional Adventures (1981-present)

In 1981, Clark happened to be in Washington, D.C. the day President Ronald Reagan was shot. Because she had a press pass she was able to join the media waiting to hear the President's prognosis. When the doctor finally arrived to start the press conference, Clark was one of the few people chosen to ask a question.^[3] For other uses, see Washington, D.C. (disambiguation). ...

Second Marriage

Clark dated throughout her widowhood, and underwent a "disastrous" marriage in 1978 that was annulled several years later.^[37] In 1996, she remarried, to John J. Conheeney, the retired CEO of Merrill Lynch Futures,^[6] after they were introduced by her daughter, Patty.^[29] The couple live in Saddle River, New Jersey^[43] and also have homes in Manhattan, Spring Lake, New Jersey, and Dennis, Massachusetts.^[6] Saddle River is a Borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. ...

Other Writing Genres

Clark's debut novel about George Washington, Aspire to the Heavens was retitled Mount Vernon Love Story and rereleased in 2002, the same year as her autobiography, Kitchen Privileges, which relied heavily on the journals she has kept all of her life.^[2][19] In 2006 Clark announced that she would be fulfilling one of her dreams by publishing her first children's book. Ghost Ship was published by Simon and Schuster, who have also published her suspense novels.^[1][44]

Writing Success

As of 2007, Clark has written twenty-four suspense novels, which have sold over 80 million copies in the United States.^[2] All of her suspense novels have been best-sellers, and as of 2007 all are still in print, including Where are the Children?, which is in its 75th printing.^[1] In 2001, the hardcover edition of Clark's On the Street Where You Live was Number One on the New York Times Hardcover Bestseller list at the same time that the paperback version of her novel Before I Say Good-bye reached Number One on the New York Times Paperback Besteller list.^[5] Her books are also number one bestsellers in France,^[29] and have earned her the distinction of being named a Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters in France in 2000. She has also been honored in France with the Grand Prix de Literature Policier (1980) and the Deauville Film Festival Literary Award (1999).^[45]

Known as "The Queen of Suspense", Clark is a "master plotter" who has the ability to slowly draw out the tension while making the reader think everyone is guilty.^[46] Her novels feature strong, independent young women who find themselves in the midst of a problem that they must solve with their own courage and intelligence.^[47] The heroines come across as real people who make sensible decisions, which makes it easier for readers, who sometimes think " "that could have happened to me, or to my to daughter," to relate to the situations.^[48] Clark's books are written for adults, yet because she chooses not to include explicit sex or violence in her stories, they have become popular with children as young as twelve.^[6]

Many of the books deal with crimes involving children or with telepathy.^[49] While Clark is well aware that many people claiming to be pyschics are behaving fraudulently, she believes that she has met people with genuine ESP powers. Clark's mother, on looking at a photo of her eighteen year old son in his brand new Navy dress blues told her daughter that "He has death in his eyes," and the young man died shortly after. A psychic Clark visited just as her second novel, Where Are the Children, was being published in paperback told her that she would become very famous and make a great deal of money. Although at the time she laughed off the prediction, the following week her novel reached the bestseller lists and she sold the movie rights shortly after, truly launching her career.^[29]

Work Habits

Before beginning the actual writing of her books, Clark prefers to develop an outline and detailed character biographies. Each chapter is continuously revised as she writes, so that when she is ready to move on to the next chapter, the current chapter is considered done and is sent directly to her editor. By the time the editor receives the last chapter, the book is primarily done.^[29]

Creativity abounds in Clark's office, a tower-like room featuring skylights and windows, located on the third floor of her house. Every morning after a light breakfast, Clark arrives in her office around 8 a.m. and works until about 2 pm, unless she is near the end of her book, when she might extend her schedule to work up to 17 hours per day.^[3] Once a year Clark lectures on a cruise ship, allowing her to travel and to do some writing in a more novel location.^[3]

Recognition

Clark has won numerous awards for her writing. In addition to those previously referenced, she has won the Horatio Alger Award (1997) and the Passionists' Ethics in Literature Award (2002), as well as the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University Spirit of Achievement Award (1994) and the National Arts Club's Gold Medal in Education (1994). She has been awarded eighteen honorary doctorates, including one from her alma mater, Fordham University.^[45] Yeshiva University is a private Jewish university in New York City whose first component was founded in 1886. ... The National Arts Club is a New York City-based private arts club [...] dedicated to furthering art and artists in America. ...

Her success has also been recognized by groups representing her heritage. The American-Irish Historical Society granted her the Gold Medal of Honor in 1993, and in 2001 she won the Ellis Island Medal of Honor. She has also been named a Bronx Legend (1999).^[45]

Clark has served as the Chairman of the International Crime Congress in 1988 and was the 1987 president of the Mystery Writers of America. For many years she also served on the Board of Directors of the Mystery Writers of America.^[29] Simon and Schuster, which have published all of Clark's novels and in the late 1990s signed her to a $64-million, four book contract,^[29] have funded the Mary Higgins Clark Award, given by the Mystery Writers of America to authors of suspense fiction for each of the ten years between 2001 and 2011.^[2][47] The announcement that an award would be given in her honor was made at the 55th Annual Edgar Allan Poe Awards, where Clark was inducted as a Grand Master.^[47] Mystery Writers of America is an organization for mystery writers, based in New York. ... Jean-François Millet Le Semeur (The Sower) Simon & Schuster logo, circa 1961. ...

Her devotion to her religion has also been widely recognized. In the highest honor that can be offered to a layperson by the Pope, Clark has been made a Dame of the Order of St. Gregory the Great, and has also been honored as a Dame of Malta and a Dame of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem.^[29] The Franciscan Friars have given her a Graymoor Award (1999) and she has been awarded a Christopher Life Achievement Award. Clark also serves as a board member for the Catholic Communal Fund and as a member of the Board of Governors at Hackensack Hospital.^[50] Insignia of the Pontifical Equestrian Order of St. ... The Christopher Award (established 1949) are presented to the producers, directors and writers of books, motion pictures and television specials which affirm the highest values of the human spirit. ...
