Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on June 08, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Paul! May your day be filled with fewer doorways for the dispossessed and more cake-filled portals to happiness. Your chilling tales in "Doorways for the Dispossessed" have kept readers awake at night—partly from fear, partly because they're too good to put down!

Your recent success with "The Last Days of Kali Yuga" proves once again that you can turn nightmares into literary gold. Here's hoping this year brings even greater inspiration (and perhaps a little less horror) as you continue crafting stories that haunt our dreams—and bookshelves—for years.

Cheers to another spine-tingling chapter ahead!
