The first birthday cake

Every month, the Daily Press sends over a birthday cake on behalf of all of the birthday boys and girls of the month. It’s a ritual that makes a lot more sense at the Daily Press than it does at the Hesperia Star, which is a three-person operation, and thus unlikely to have 12 months worth of birthdays.

This month, though, we’ve got one. Just three years and 18 days to get my first novel published.
