The Author
Colin Utley wrote the first draft of When the Breeze Blew Through on an overnight flight after filming an appearance on Jeopardy! that didn’t quite go the way he wanted. While it’s been edited and shortened, the story retains the spirit, structure, and rhyming pattern of that first draft. He lives in New Orleans with his wife and two children where he works as a consultant and operates Sidewalk Side Stories LLC. This is his first book. Contact Colin here.
