Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on November 14, 1948)

Happy Birthday, Michael Dobbs! May your celebrations be as delightfully twisted and intriguing as the political plots you've masterfully woven. From crafting the iconic "House of Cards," which captivated audiences from BBC to Netflix, to bringing history vividly alive in "Winston's War" and sending chills down our spines with "A Ghost at the Door," your storytelling remains unmatched.

And let's not forget your impressive political career—serving as Deputy Chairman of Britain's Conservative Party in the mid-1990s. Clearly, you know how to navigate both fictional and real-life corridors of power. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer backstabbings than a Frank Underwood dinner party!
