Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on September 15, 1942)

Happy Birthday, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro! May your celebration be as timeless and intriguing as Saint-Germain himself—though hopefully with fewer vampires lurking around the cake. Your captivating tales have kept readers delightfully sleepless for decades, proving that immortality isn't just reserved for your characters.

From the chilling elegance of "The Saint-Germain Cycle" to the haunting charm of "Sisters of the Night," you've masterfully blended history and horror into unforgettable stories. Here's hoping this year brings you even more success—and perhaps a few less undead visitors at midnight. Cheers to another chapter filled with creativity, laughter, and plenty of garlic-free adventures!
