Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on May 21, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Jackson Pearce! May your day be sweeter than "Sweetly," purer than "Purity," and cooler (but not colder!) than the enchanting pages of "Cold Spell." Your magical storytelling has captivated readers everywhere—turning ordinary days into extraordinary adventures. From North Carolina to online communities worldwide, you've charmed us all with wit, wisdom, and a dash of fantasy.

Here's hoping this year brings you even more delightful plot twists—and perhaps fewer writer's blocks captured hilariously in video blogs. Keep inspiring aspiring authors through your vibrant internet presence; after all these years since leading the 2009 Debutantes community onward toward literary greatness—you've still got it!
