I asked Brittany about her writing journey:

"Here are the answers to your questions."

1. What made you want to write a book?

I actually wrote my YA novel Finding Freedom as a personal experiment to see how long I could write fiction, since I had mostly only written poetry and nonfiction before that.

2. Tell us about you and where you live.

I live in North Carolina with my husband (of eight years this year) and our two children. I have a daughter and a son.

3. What have you written and what are you working on now?

So far I have written a book of poetry Shine Through the Darkness, two nonfiction books The Basic Guide to Starting Your Own Business on a Budget, and The Basics of Options Trading, and my first YA novel in The Zion Series, Finding Freedom. I am currently working on the second book in that series, Heir of Zion.

4. How do you market your books and do your promotion methods work?

So far my methods have been giving me good results. I start by posting my book on over 100 Facebook pages and my website (www.brittanynicolelewisblog.wordpress...) and doing a press release. Then I call every book store and library in my state and the surrounding states (I have covered six states so far) and every book club in that state. Then, I contact the churches in that area and tell the Pastors about my book. Then, I submit press releases to newspapers in other states also. I have also been invited to do many, many interviews, guests posts and podcasts.

5. Where can readers find your books for sale?

Right now they are all available on Amazon and soon they will be available on B&N.com

Finding Freedom has just been released:

Katie was born into a cult. Her family lived there for generations. As she got older, she realized the Elders were keeping secrets from the community. Risking everything, she leaves the cult and searches for the truth. With the help of outsiders, Katie and her young husband David are put in touch with an organization called Purple Haven, which provides medical care, shelter, counseling and job training to individuals who have escaped from cults. She soon discovers she’s pregnant. With the help of her husband, her therapist, and two friends, Katie learns what it means to have a relationship with God.

Best of luck with your new book Brittany and I hope you sell many copies.
