The apostrophe's abuse is extremely common among writers. I think you must be used to only reading pro-edited books, but even those still have a fair few mistakes these days. Indie books are usually the writer's pure words. They lack a bit (or sometimes a lot) of polish, but they also give you the chance to read things that would never be profitable enough to be published any other way.
