The front page of your blog has at least one glaring grammatical error, and there's a, well, catastrophic spelling error on the front page of your book preview ("copywrite"). That's how you advertise yourself as an indie writer - and, just speaking for myself here, I wouldn't go past that. It's like turning up for an office job interview in torn jeans and flip-flops.
Not trolling: genuine advice.

Definitely. Spell-checking is no substitute for editing. You only get one chance to make a first impression, and the impression at the moment is, unfortunately, one of "I can't be bothered to take the time to get it right", to which my response is "... so I can't be bothered to read it".
