Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on March 24, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Tabitha King! May your day be brighter than all the candles burning on your cake—though hopefully not quite as mysterious or suspenseful. Your incredible storytelling continues to captivate readers everywhere, proving once again that behind every great King is an equally talented Queen.

From crafting unforgettable characters in "Candles Burning" to inspiring countless fans with your wit and charm, you've truly mastered the art of keeping us entertained (and occasionally spooked). Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter, creativity—and perhaps fewer eerie noises coming from dark hallways!

Cheers to you today and always—keep shining brightly!
