What Famous Writers Were Born on Your Birthday?

I have no writers sharing my birthday.

Albert Camus won the Nobel Prize for Literature the year I was born.

And I do know (although it wasn't listed) that Robert E. Howard died on my birthday.

I also know that Vince Lombardi was born on my birthday, but that site doesn't mention it either.

No writers. Two Popes.

Maybe I should be writing religious novels?

Famous writers sharing my birthday:

ME











I wish...

I share February 7th with Charles Dickens, Tomas Moore, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Sinclair Lewis!

Not bad. There's hope for me yet!

Truman Capote.

(and Monica Belluci - yum)

1615 - Pope Innocent XII (d. 1700)
1741 - Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor (d. 1790)
1855 - Percival Lowell, American astronomer (d. 1916)
1911 - L. Ron Hubbard, American author (d. 1986)

1914 - Edward O'Hare, American pilot (d. 1943)
1949 - Julia Migenes, American soprano

Hmmm... should I be singing soprano while directing CIA agents in piloting secret aircraft, or writing about roman emperors who aspire to be pope and study astronomy? Decisions, decisions.
