Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with Christine Germain of Brooklyn

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Christine Germain. Check out our conversation below.

Christine, a huge thanks to you for investing the time to share your wisdom with those who are seeking it. We think it’s so important for us to share stories with our neighbors, friends and community because knowledge multiples when we share with each other. Let’s jump in: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Going to the movies. I find taking time for self care is so important and watching movies at a theater is therapeutic and relaxing.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Christine M. Germain, and I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. I work in the healthcare field, but my true passion has always been storytelling. I graduated with an associate’s degree in film, and I have been writing since I was just ten years old. Horror, dark romance, and mystery thrillers have always been the genres that stir my imagination, and they became the foundation of my life’s work.

I am the five-time award-winning author of The Brothers Curse Saga. What started in 1993 as a simple draft grew into something much bigger, a six-book saga that I rewrote and sculpted into the dark, cinematic world readers know today. My first novel was officially published in November 2020, and since then, I have released four books that carry readers deeper into the shadows of this universe.

This December 2025, I am beyond excited to release the fifth installment, Curse of the Falls. Each book has been a journey of passion, heartbreak, and resilience, not just for the characters, but for me as an author who has poured everything into this saga.

Writing is more than a career for me. It is my lifeline, my voice, and my way of connecting with readers who love stories that blur the line between fear and desire, darkness and light. I cannot wait for you to step into the next chapter of The Brothers Curse Saga with me.

Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
The moment I lost my home to hurricane sandy in 2012. I didn’t realize how precious life was until I was met with a natural disaster and learning that I had to make choices at that instant to leave my flooded home and leave behind all my cherished belongings. I learned that materlistic things weren’t important and I also learned that in your most vulnerable state you also see people’s true colors and if they will be there for you when you are going through the toughest times. The world can be cruel but people can be more crueler.

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
I have had moments when I did want to give up but with the strength of god I chose to continue because writing was a gift and my purpose in life.

I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
Honesty, I respect people who are not only true with people but true to themselves.

Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
Overthinking about my future
