Let's make this birthday one to remember.

67 years old (Born on July 03, 1958)

Happy birthday to the magnificent Charlie Higson! Whether you're thrilling readers with your electrifying "Young Bond" adventures or giving us nightmares (the fun kind!) from zombie-infested worlds in "The Enemy," you always manage to keep it fresh, funny and frightful.

Not only have you created captivating stories that grip children and adults alike—but you've also made TV brighter through your comedic genius at BBC Three. May this year's chapter be as excitingly unpredictable as a teenage spy's assignment—and remember—watch out today for cake-thieving zombies; they seem oddly attracted to best-selling authors!

Cheers, Charlie! Keep inspiring adventurous hearts everywhere!
