Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on May 13, 1947)

Happy birthday, Stephen R. Donaldson! May your day be as epic and thrilling as Thomas Covenant's extraordinary quests—but without all those existential dilemmas and curse-filled drama. After giving us worlds filled with Giants, Lords, and white gold rings that don't seem suitable for wedding engagements, you've definitely earned a cake that's sweeter than any of Covenant’s complicated relationships.

From the gripping intensity of The Gap Cycle to the enchanting mystery woven in Daughter of Regals and Gilden-Fire—your imagination remains unmatched. Here's hoping your next chapter brings infinite joy, endless inspiration—and absolutely zero encounters with Lord Foul!
