Let's make this birthday one to remember.

64 years old (Born on August 05, 1960)

Happy Birthday, David Baldacci! May your day be filled with more twists and turns than a government conspiracy plot, and may you have absolute power over the birthday cake—just don't lose total control when blowing out those candles!

From thrilling us with gripping tales of intrigue to charming younger readers through Freddie's French fry adventures, you've proven that suspense can coexist deliciously alongside crispy snacks. Here's hoping this year brings even more bestsellers, fewer white-collar criminals (unless they're fictional), and plenty of inspiration for another round of literary brilliance.

Cheers to you on your special day—may it be simply unforgettable!
