We had the good fortune of connecting with Christine Germain and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Christine, have you ever found yourself in a spot where you had to decide whether to give up or keep going? How did you make the choice?
In life when one is working on becoming the best version of themselves, you will go through your Highs and lows. With every success story comes with some form of failure along the way. Part of hard work is making sacrifices and knowing that one day if you stay consistent you will always win. “Giving up” to me is not an option and should not be an option for anyone. The moment you give up on your dreams and the one thing you are the most passionate about is the day you have failed yourself and there is no room for that. Always keep going.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My Name is Christine Germain, and I am from New York. I am an award-winning Author, and I write Young adult Dark Horror and Mystery Thrillers. I started on my writing journey at the age of eleven. I fell in love with reading stories by R.L Stine, Christopher Pike and Stephen King. A fan of all that is supernatural, I found myself writing short stories from a young girl and well into my young adult years.

Although I decided to take a long break, telling stories was always something

I was deeply passionate about. Later on in my adult years I took a chance and rewrote a story I created at the age of Twelve . The book is called The Brother’s Curse which is a wonderful supernatural, horror series that caters all that welcome diversity.

My goal with my work is to bring readers together in unity. My writing style is different from most and has a unique touch which makes you feel as if you are part of the story. Part of the characters.

I promote tales that showcase characters of different races, genders and different sexual orientations. That means my work isn’t targeted to only one demographic. It is for men, woman, LGBT etc….

I’ve dedicated myself to shinning light on how important works by POC matter especially for women of color. Life can throw stones at you, but I was taught that no matter how many times you fall; you keep getting back up and fight for what you believe in, and I am proud of myself and how far I’ve come as a writer.

I want fans, followers, and readers to know that I produce stories that matter, that take on topics of the real world but still showcase all nationalities in beautiful ways and not the typical stereotype tropes we tend to read in novels.

I want to make a difference in the writing world as a woman of color who shows that we too can be the voice and face of something different;; something positive, something new.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would love to give a shoutout to my younger self for never giving up on my dreams of becoming an author. I would like to thank my Grandmother Rosiana for always believing in me and supporting me throughout my writing journey. I would like to thank my fans who have supported The Brother’s Curse Saga (Keeshia, S.G, Brady, Demonse, Megan, Lashane, Pan, Robert and many more)

I would also like to shout out my favorite Book Cover company Miblart and GetCovers for designing stunning book covers and interior formatting for me. They have been terrific in bringing the book to life with amazing graphic artists.
