Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on August 09, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Jonathan Kellerman! May your day be filled with suspense—but only the fictional kind. You've given us countless sleepless nights turning pages through Alex Delaware's thrilling adventures alongside detective Milo Sturgis. From "When the Bough Breaks" to "Blood Test," you've masterfully combined psychology and mystery in ways that keep readers hooked (and slightly paranoid about their neighbors).

Your insightful exploration of human nature—especially evident in your compelling non-fiction work, "Savage Spawn: Reflections on Violent Children"—has left an indelible mark on literature and psychology alike. Here's hoping this birthday brings you fewer plot twists than one of your novels—and far more cake!
