Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on October 23, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Michael Walsh! Another year wiser and still crafting stories that keep us turning pages faster than we can refill our coffee mugs. From the gritty intrigue of "Exchange Alley" to the captivating drama in "And All the Saints," your words have kept readers delightfully sleep-deprived for decades.

Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much excitement and suspense as you've given us—minus any plot twists involving lost manuscripts or spilled ink. May your next chapter be filled with laughter, inspiration, and plenty of cake (because even great authors need fuel). Cheers to another fantastic year ahead!
