I've had a quick look at your book, and here my thoughts.
Like many readers, I look first at the cover, then the blurb, then the look inside feature.
Firstly, the cover doesn't really tell me what the story is about, and covers do sell a book. It doesn't look professionally designed?
The blurb doesn't grab me. Who are the main characters, and what is their challenge?
Thirdly, you 'head hop' quite a bit in the first few pages. Many readers are put off with those sort of quick POV changes.
Did you use any beta readers for your book? An editor? They could help you work out how improve your work.
Good luck.

We need reviewers for Genome Valley

Thanks

thanks for the input - yes reviewed for grammar/flow - totally new to this stuff and it appears to show. The cover depicts a scene in the book and shows main characters (Sandra and Jacque Thibodeau, Mike Flynn, and Paul Grant (on his knees w/ arms lifted) as they view a sunrise.

Are you on Facebook? There are various groups there in which people post covers and blurbs and ask for feedback. That can be quite useful.

I'll be setting up tomorrow, Scott. Some life things got in the way of me setting it up. I'm on the case.

Let's put it this way. It will be set up before the weekend is up, so you can start reading as of Monday.
