Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on September 18, 1948)

Happy Birthday, Lynn Abbey! May your day be brighter than the moon you famously wrote about and filled with fewer thieves than your beloved anthology. Your knack for crafting anti-heroes who charm us despite their questionable morals has kept readers delightfully conflicted for decades.

From "Daughter of the Bright Moon" to your unforgettable contributions in "Thieves' World," you've given us characters we love precisely because they're flawed—reminding us all that perfection is overrated. Here's hoping this year brings you as much adventure, intrigue, and success as you've generously provided to readers everywhere. Cheers to another chapter of literary mischief!
