Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on December 09, 1942)

Happy Birthday, David! Whether you're crafting haunting verses in *Legion*, unraveling mysteries as David Lawrence, or spinning operatic magic with your libretto for *Gawain*, you always keep us guessing. Honestly, we're still trying to figure out how many literary hats one man can wear without getting dizzy!

Here's wishing the poet who dreams of the dead and brings them vividly back to life another year filled with intrigue, inspiration—and perhaps fewer pseudonyms (we're running out of shelf space!). May this birthday be as thrillingly unpredictable as your plots and just mysterious enough to inspire yet another masterpiece. Cheers!
