“The Climb” is the story of a family which passes through the hardships of life. The story is narrated by the main character, Kathleen King, who presents life as it is a society which deals with daily problems such as racism, poverty, social distinction, crime, obsession, maladjustment or different views about life. The physical aspect might not always be a source of disagreement, but different point of views and higher ideals can be dangerous into an environment which has lost its normal rhythm of focusing on the important values. The evil resides in people whom you never thought about. The key to success and personal fulfillment is so closely at a stretch of a hand. [mehr]

This is a labour of love, a gathering of initiative, an age of short stories. The earliest ideas date back to 1972, the latest tales are from 2010. Accordingly, this becomes a volume spanning four decades of short stories: original ideas or reworked ones inspired by his parents’ tales. All in all, there are eleven genres in this anthology: drama, science fiction, relationship assessment, erotic, romantic, adventure, horror, historical reality, historical fantasy, detective and children’s fiction. We meet Charmian and Robert, whose fate is especially cruel after a painful break-up. We encounter the two trolls Uggel-Guggel and Klampe-Lampe as they search for their maidens, endeavouring to save their race. A futuristic cook from a lunar hotel falls in love with an alien, a bitter author turns into a werewolf, a rich widow remembers her youth in Paris and a renaissance maid gets integrated into a royal court. There are art directors and astronauts, actors and scientists, murderers and kings. They are dissimilar people with one thing in common: their love, or sometimes their lack of love, paves the way for their challenge. Charles E. J. Moulton displays his creative ability in 24 tales. He gives readers food for thought in his significant realization of philosophical awareness. At the end of this volume, he delivers an account of his professional life and presents his colourful, aristocratic family’s history spanning five countries and dating back to William the Conqueror.

Ford lifted his arms above his head to yawn as does a man who has slept too heavily, found his biceps stiffened and sore, and massaged them gingerly with his finger-tips. His eyes took on the vacancy of memory straining at the leash of forgetfulness. He sighed largely, swung his head slowly from left to right in mute admission of failure to grasp what lay just behind his slumber, and thereby discovered other muscles that protested against sudden movement. He felt his neck with a careful, rubbing gesture. One hand strayed to his left cheekbone, hovered there tentatively, wandered to the bridge of his nose, and from there dropped inertly to the bed. "Lordy me! I must have been drunk last night," he said aloud, mechanically taking the straight line of logic from effect to cause, as much experience had taught him to do. "You was--and then some," replied an unemotional voice from somewhere behind him. "Oh! That you, Sandy?" Ford lay quiet, trying to remember. His finger-tips explored the right side of his face; now and then he winced under their touch, light as it was. "I must have carried an awful load," he decided, again unerringly taking the backward trail from effect to cause. Later, logic carried him farther. "Who'd I lick, Sandy?" "Several." The unseen Sandy gave one the impression of a man smoking and speaking between puffs. "Can't say just who--you did start in on. You wound up on--the preacher." "Preacher?" Ford's tone matched the flicker of interest in his eyes. "Uhn-hunh." Ford meditated a moment. "I don't recollect ever licking a preacher before," he observed curiously. Life, stale and drab since his eyes opened, gathered to itself the pale glow of awakening interest. Ford rose painfully, inch by inch, until he was sitting upon the side of the bed, got from there to his feet, looked down and saw that he was clothed to his boots, and crossed slowly to where a cheap, flyspecked looking-glass hung awry upon the wall. His self-inspection was grave and minute. His eyes held the philosophic calm of accustomedness. "Who put this head on me, Sandy?" he inquired apathetically. "The preacher?" "I d' know. You had it when you come up outa the heap. You licked the preacher afterwards, I think." Sandy was reading a ragged-backed novel while he smoked; his interest in Ford and Ford's battered countenance was plainly perfunctory. Outside, the rain fell aslant in the wind and drummed dismally upon the little window beside Sandy. It beat upon the door and trickled underneath in a thin rivulet to a shallow puddle, formed where the floor was sunken. A dank warmth and the smell of wet wood heating to the blazing point pervaded the room and mingled with the coarse aroma of cheap, warmed-over coffee. "Sandy!" "Hunh?" "Did anybody get married last night?" The leash of forgetfulness was snapping, strand by strand. Troubled remembrance peered out from behind the philosophic calm in Ford's eyes. "Unh-hunh." Sandy turned a leaf and at the same time [mehr]

Bertha Muzzy Sinclair or Sinclair-Cowan, née Muzzy (November 15, 1871 – July 23, 1940), best known by her pseudonym B. M. Bower, was an American author who wrote novels, fictional short stories, and screenplays about the American Old West.[1] Her works, featuring cowboys and cows of the Flying U Ranch in Montana, reflected "an interest in ranch life, the use of working cowboys as main characters (even in romantic plots), the occasional appearance of eastern types for the sake of contrast, a sense of western geography as simultaneously harsh and grand, and a good deal of factual attention to such matters as cattle branding and bronc busting."[2] Born Bertha Muzzy in Otter Tail County, MN and living her early years in Big Sandy, Montana, she was married three times: to Clayton Bower, in 1890; to Bertrand William Sinclair,(also a Western author) in 1912; and to Robert Elsworth Cowan, in 1921.[1][3][4] Bower's 1912 novel Lonesome Land was praised in The Bookman magazine for its characterization. [4] She wrote 57 Western novels, several of which were turned into films.[5] [mehr]
