Happy birthday, Marcus Cass!

Happy Birthday, Marcus!

Wishing you a fantastic year ahead, full of inspiration, new ideas, and well-deserved success. The Artificer has truly struck a chord with international readers, and it’s wonderful to see how your stories—born from a deep love of fantasy and shaped by imagination, kindness, and magic—have found such a warm reception far beyond their original borders.

Your journey from a passionate reader in St Petersburg to a bestselling author is inspiring in itself. Trading lines of code for living worlds filled with wonder was clearly the right choice, and your ability to constantly create, explore, and reinvent is what makes your work so special.

May this coming year bring you even more creative breakthroughs, exciting travels, perfectly timed (and maybe awkward) jokes, and plenty of new worlds waiting to be discovered—both on the page and in real life.

Warmest wishes and happy birthday!
