By day he loves hiking under the Big Sky of his adopted state. By night, however, he prefers editing lost manuscripts and wandering the byways of eighteenth-century London . . . Hugh is his first novel. Cornell Collins was a hippie, a mod, a punk, a new-romantic, and a new-waver. Now, he proudly calls himself ""newly middle aged."" Narrating audiobooks has shown Cornell that life in the modern world can, in some ways, be just as good as the golden 70s and 80s, and he has found a peace in telling stories.
