Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on September 08, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Marianne Wiggins! May your day be as delightfully unusual and captivatingly unpredictable as the plots you've gifted us. From exploring luminous mysteries in "Evidence of Things Unseen," to navigating thrilling adventures with characters we never saw coming—your imagination has kept readers joyously bewildered for decades.

Here's hoping this year brings you more accolades than even a Pulitzer finalist can handle (though we're pretty sure you're up for it). Keep crafting those unforgettable stories that make reality seem dull by comparison. Cheers to another chapter filled with laughter, inspiration—and perhaps an unexpected twist or two!
