Christine Germain Author Bio:
Christine M. Germain is an Award-Winning Best Selling Author of Horror and Mystery Thriller. Born March 8, 1981, in Brooklyn, New York, she found her passion for writing in 1993 and wrote her first horror story at twelve. Watching horror movies and reading young adult horror fiction novels influenced her love for writing a story with a protagonist that looked like her. African American women weren’t portrayed as solid leads in horror films or books. Instead of waiting to see if that would happen, she created a story that she would love to read and watch on the big screen that catered to more diverse characters.
Admiring authors such as Stephen King and R.L. Stein, Christine pursued her writing journey, majoring in literature, and graduated with a performing arts degree. Known for an imagination unlike any other, Christine is ready to take you to a thrilling shape-shifter world with her series, “The Brother’s Curse Saga.”
What inspires you to write?
Watching movie adaptions to Stephen king novels and R.L Stine books inspired me to write spooky stories at the tender age of 11. I was always a fan of horror and anything that went bump in the night.
Tell us about your writing process.
I used to outline in a notebook, but now I use scrivener to write out my chapters. I usually write the ending of my story first, then the beginning, and finally I fill in the middle. I do not have a particular process in writing, i just write. Not only that, but I do create illustrations of my characters so my readers can get a glimpse of what their favorite character look like.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I actually put myself in the characters shows and reenact their dialogue aloud while writing. It is the funniest part of writing the story.
