Need help perfecting cover blurb/synopsis for new book

Paid on delivery
I am getting down to the final steps in publishing my new collection of short stories, but one thing I still need help on is the synopsis/blurb that goes on the back cover of the paperback. I have one currently, but I'm not sure if it's good enough as is, or if it still needs to be tightened up a bit or changed, but I'm pretty sure it needs a little work. I'm looking for help from someone who has experience doing this and knows exactly what type of phrasing and language works best for book covers in order to catch people's attention and make them want to read it. I have attached my current working synopsis so you can look at it and decide for yourself if it's something you can or want to help me with. Thank you!

I believe the synopsis needs to be shortened. Giving out details on more than two or three stories is tiring to the reader. He needs to be engaged, not so much in the storyline, but in the mood. Relevant Skills and Experience I just had my book of short stories published, so I know the struggle to write a synopsis of your own. Furthermore I just recently completed a similar project for one of my clients - see my portfolio. Proposed Milestones $35 USD - A full synopsis of your book Hello! As mentioned above, I had my book of short stories published. And we went back and forth with my editor, discussing the synopsis, until we finally agreed on something that we both believed would work. Being a fellow writer, I want to help you as much as I can. I can offer advice, as well as a few versions of the synopsis. I also believe the synopsis must bring out some of the mood, the "spirit" of the book, not just reflect on a few storylines. I'd love to discuss more details over in chat. Looking forward to your response! Kindest regards.
