S. D. Smith’s 44th Birthday is Happening Today On His Birthday (Today)

It’s my 44th birthday!

It feels like I am older than ever before. 

I was born in a blizzard. Interestingly, we are also having weather today! 

It’s going to be a good day. I want to say four things I’m thankful for because (A) you can’t stop me—nice try, sucka—and (B) forty-four things is too much for me to manage at this age. 

1) I am so grateful for my mother! Barbara Smith is wonderful. She literally gave me life forty-four years ago (in a blizzard; did I mention that?) and she has been a wonderful mom and the earliest advocate for me as a storyteller. Without her, there would never be a Green Ember or anything else. It’s HER birthday! Happy Birthday. I love you, Mom!

2) Oreos. 

3) The Book of Common Prayer.

4) You. You! Thanks for caring about me and my stories. I probably love you. I’m almost positive I do. 

Thanks, everyone. Happy Birthday from me to you!

S. D. Smith is the author of The Green Ember Series, a bestselling middle-grade adventure saga. When he’s not writing adventurous tales of #RabbitsWithSwords in his writing shed, dubbed The Forge, Smith loves to speak to audiences about storytelling, imagination, and seeing yourself as a character in the Story. S. D. Smith lives in West Virginia with his wife and four kids.
