Self-Published Author Achieves Instance Success with Fifth Book

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. - Feb. 28, 2015 - PRLog -- Winter Haven resident and author Teresa Meeks fifth book, Tortured Tides the sequel to Tortured Journey, was made available for download last week and was met with immediate success. Within hours purchases were occurring.

Meeks began writing to escape a tragic time in her life, but when her first book went international that made her want to share her imagination with a new literary piece each year. Seeing the download from countries she would only visit in her books, she was astounded when sales tripled in a matter of months.

Meeks is self published and would admit that professional literary representation would be the preferred method to share her books with the world. When a new story is ready, she notifies hundreds of agents but is met with rejection after rejection. Persistence is the key and these rejections only fuel the fire to prove to the agents that her stories will be a success. Now with an astounding number of ebook purchases within the first week, Tortured Tides will do just that.

Meeks other books are: Nothing is Always Something, Everything is Nothing, and Bedlam in Suburbia can be purchased in paperback at Amazon or can be downloaded to a Kindle or other e-book formats through her website, www.teresameeks.com.
