Cinebook the 9th Art Newsletter 158 - February 2021
 |
Dear Reader, |      |
We seem to have placed this month under the sign of the child and growing up. So, let’s dive right in with our first title, and the return of taciturn Mountie Trent, who’s on duty beyond the Arctic Circle this time. But neither the loneliness nor the boredom will have much chance to get to him, when he finds himself entertaining a rather young guest! Same era, but further south this time, with a new Lucky Luke: the lonesome cowboy must supervise the Daltons as they play ‘uncle’ to the son of their cousin Emmett. Between the four brothers’ usual misbehaving, and having to make sure they don’t ruin the kid’s education, Luke has his work cut out for him … Finally, Thorgal returns! Well, the series does, because this time around, it’s his son Jolan who takes centre stage, and we see a lot less of his adopted Viking father. It’s time for the boy to leave the nest and become an adult, and what better way than a dangerous quest and a few deadly trials, hmm? February with Cinebook – the magic of childhood preserved! |        |

Funding?
I have no idea why I am bothering but I suppose we keep trying.
DO you want to see more CBO content and mega posts?
Are you willing to donate to keep CBO going -there is a PayPal me box to the right.
Spending less time here and reviews and the odd video is all I am prepared to give up time for at the moment. Why not buy a book from the online store -you get something and I get something?
Computer is near teminal so....

Why All the Books On One Day....Explanation!
You may have been expecting BTSH no. 8 but all three parts of The Green Skies?
Unfortunately with no real sales my constantly breaking down PC cannot be replaced and after it took me a couple of hours to get it basically functioning again I realised that once it goes that is it.
Green Skies parts 1-3 were uploaded last June and the rush was on to get covers together. I could not publish one part have the computer break down and parts 2 and 3 not appear. Therefore I decided to get it all out onto the online store. Reviewers have raved about the books but that never accounts for sales!
One point. The books have a cover price of £10.00 UK and that is because prices increased and each costs over £8.00 to print. That £10.00 cover price will make me a profit (before taxes!) of 98p. The real cover price should be £12-15.00 and that is an increase that will come in during March of this year but rather than go for a big cover price I decided to make the books (temporarily) low priced to attract readers.
The books are my supposed income but no one buys these days and if no one buys then I can't afford a new laptop or PC let alone the bills.
That is the explanation for the sudden surge of books!
Thank you.
