Let's make this birthday one to remember.

93 years old (Born on June 13, 1931)

Happy Birthday, Robert! From chasing down stories at the Denver Post to crafting gripping tales like *The Torturer's Horse* and *The Blood Endures*, you've always known how to keep us on the edge of our seats. Your novels have tortured our sleep schedules—but hey, we forgive you because they're just that good!

Here's wishing you another year filled with intriguing plots, memorable characters, and fewer deadlines (though we know you'll chase them anyway). May your birthday be as timeless as your storytelling—and may your cake endure longer than a newsroom coffee break. Cheers to many more adventures ahead!
