Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on March 13, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Ridley Pearson! May your day be filled with more suspense than a Risk Agent mission and more adventure than Peter Pan's wildest dreams. You've given us countless sleepless nights—either from gripping thrillers like "Killer Summer" or because we couldn't put down the magical adventures of "Peter and the Starcatchers."

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success, endless inspiration, and fewer plot twists in real life (unless they're good ones!). Keep thrilling readers young and old alike; after all, age is just another chapter—and you're clearly mastering every page. Cheers to many more exciting stories ahead!
