De: Lancelot Schaubert

Narrado por: Daniel Dorse

A blue-collar hoarder sorts through the treasures of his lost past while his kids play on the scaffolding outside. He keeps ignoring the tremors in both the memories and the present.

Praise for Lancelot Schaubert:

“Schaubert’s words have an immediacy, a potency, an intimacy that grab the reader by the collar and say ‘Listen, this is important!’ Probing the bones and gristle of humanity, his subjects challenge, but also offer insights into redemption if only we will stop and pay attention.” (Erika Robuck, national best-selling author of Hemingway’s Girl)

“Loved this story because Lance wrote about people who don't get written about enough and he did it with humor, compassion, and heart.” (Brian Slatterly, author of Lost Everything and editor of The New Haven Review)

“I’m such a fan of Lance Schaubert's work. His unique view of things and his life wisdom enriches all he does. We're lucky to count him among our contributors.” (Therese Walsh, author of The Moon Sisters and editorial director of Writer Unboxed)

"Lancelot Schaubert exhibits his talents in many forms from poetic verse to lyrical prose to musical compositions, all the while infusing them with charisma, passion, and wit. A true creative, Schaubert is one to watch in the literary world." (Heather Webb, author of Rodin's Lover and Becoming Josephine)

“Lance Schaubert writes with conviction but without the cliché and bluster of the propaganda that is so common in this age of blogs and tweets. Here is a real practitioner of the craft who has the patience to pay attention. May his tribe increase!" (Jonathan Wilson Hartgrove, author of Common Prayer and The Awakening of Hope)

Poignant short story about hoarding

This one struck really close to home for me. My father and I cleaned out many a house back in the day and I must say that my father kept a crazy amount of “treasures” in the hope of what they would one day mean....he is gone and it’s all just a jumbled disaster...this story is all about hoarding, what it means to
The border and what it can cost them...well written, narrated and delivered in such a great short story. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

Old Treasures

This 14 minute short was pretty good, I wish it was a little longer.
Daniel Dorse did another fine job narrating, I received a free code for this audiobook and am voluntarily posting this review.
