ATTENTION ALL READERS AND WRITERS! What are your impressions of my Amazon Author page? Would it entice you to purchase an eBook? Any turn-offs?
Everything is up for critique: profile pic, bios, covers, ebook formating, product descriptions.
Let's get some insights into the mind of book buyers going on this thread, please. I'll enforce critique circle rules on myself. Meaning I won't respond to my critiquers other than to thank them or clarify a direct question. Here's the link:

David:
Well–I'm not your market! Now let me explain. Your photo on your page said who your were;
youth (–I'm 60!). It took me to your books to see what they are about (young stuff and dating–remember, I'm an old fart–not into social media) and that's what an author page should do–
define your market–I think. Having said that, does anyone get to your author page before they look at your books? I don't have the answer.
Now, if you've got something in there that you'd
think an old fart like me might want to read, then your page missed something. (fiction? I like mysteries)
My first book is for a very limited market: Investigators, crime writers, and maybe a few CSI fans. Thoughts?

Critique mine too please–but don't let me hijack David's preemptive strike.
