Happy Birthday, Ivan Doig! Rumor has it your novels are so steeped in Montana charm that even elk stop to read them—Sweet Thunder ignites laughter, English Creek flows warmly into readers' hearts, and Ride with Me, Mariah Montana is still cruising along, charming generations of adventurers. Truly timeless storytelling.Your words masterfully place readers right in big-sky country so vividly that we nearly get sunburns from turning pages outdoors. Cheers to yet another trip around the literary landscape—you've given us miles of stories full of heart and humor. May this year bring you adventures as memorable as your novels!
