Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on January 01, 1983)

Happy Birthday, Duncan! From boldly exploring "The Human Frontier" in Star Trek to sweetening our shelves with the delightful tales of The Sugar Girls—your literary adventures have truly gone where no author has gone before. May your birthday be as timeless and entertaining as your storytelling!

And let's not forget those unforgettable moments on stage at Edinburgh Fringe Festival—you've directed drama, acted comedy, and probably survived more backstage chaos than Captain Kirk faced Klingons. Here's wishing you another year filled with standing ovations (and fewer costume malfunctions). Live long and prosper—and keep making us laugh along the way!
