Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on November 11, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Barry Reese! May your day be filled with more excitement than a Lazarus Gray adventure and fewer plot twists than Rabbit Heart. Your incredible imagination has given us countless hours of thrilling escapades through the Rook Universe—proving once again that librarians truly hold all the best secrets.

From meticulously chronicling Marvel's heroes in The Official Handbook to crafting worlds where pulp fiction thrives, you've shown readers everywhere how storytelling is done right. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy (and slightly less peril) as one of your own novels!

Cheers to another year full of literary triumphs!
