Quotations:
"I write because the characters inside my head demand that I tell their story. I don’t know how not to write. I have been doing it since I figured out what a pencil is for' However, I didn’t take my writing seriously until about 1990."
"Every person I meet, story I read, news I hear is potential material. I am constantly looking for information to build into a story. I learn a lot about writing from reading other authors."
"Dragons and magic have always fascinated me. I can’t get enough of the paranormal subjects now on the market. I also have strong opinions on the nature of the paranormal, and I write what I believe is true."
Irene Radford married Timothy L. Karr on November 26, 1970. The couple has one son, Benjamin Colin.
