About the author
Born in Saginaw, Michigan, on February 23, 1889, Walter M. Germain was an American author and lecturer associated with parapsychology. Reference sources describe him as a businessman who later served as an officer with the Saginaw Police Department from 1930 to 1950.
After leaving police work, he turned to writing and speaking about ESP, mental influence, and related subjects. He is especially known for The Magic Power of Your Mind (1956), a book that presents his interest in the untapped possibilities of thought and personal experience.
Although not a mainstream literary figure, his work found a lasting audience among readers drawn to self-help, psychic research, and mind-power writing. He died in 1962.
