Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on October 25, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Victoria Frances! May your day be filled with more magic than "Misty Circus 2: Witches Night," and may the celebrations last longer than it takes to illustrate Arlene's enchanting heart. Your Favole series has captivated us all—proving once again that vampires, witches, and gothic romance never go out of style.

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success (and fewer spilled ink bottles). Keep dazzling us with your hauntingly beautiful illustrations; after all, birthdays come just once a year—but timeless art like yours is forever. Cheers to another chapter as spellbinding as your creations!
