So, I stepped into here, on accident really because there was a similar topic on the Nook.

I usually don't go here because I'm not a writer, but this was an interesting topic.

The first thing I see when I go to your webpage is the covers...they say you can't judge a book by it's cover, but most people do really.

And what I see is pretty poor. From photography to type-set to your name leaving the sidebar and entering the photo (which I do like the sidebar concept).

But a sharp looking cover to me says you are interested in ALL aspects of your work, not just the inside.

The other thing, in your descriptions you say things like:

"It's pretty much the same as Burn Notice, just a different settings." Okay, that tells me it's not really original.

"This book was written on the fly" - I understand what you are trying to do, but was it only written for MR readers?

You also mention MobileRead alot, while not a BAD thing I would suggest that you remove it because the average Joe may feel like unless they are apart of the community, they are missing something.

Not knowing anything about the inner workings of the books, this is what I see with the outer workings.

I'm sure there is much more that people have and already added, but from a perspective of someone that is outside the writing business, those are the reasons I wouldn't buy or look at the books.
