My short story "The Fall" appears in the new anthology The River and got a wonderful review from Abyss and Apex.

"One of the best stories in the anthology was 'The Fall.' Here, our protagonist and narrator is a waterfall, and writer Irene Radford causes us to identify with this rushing torrent as it dances and sings over rocks and shoals – no mean feat. It loves the people that live near its banks, and you feel how its life is intertwined with their agonies and defeats. You should buy the book for this story alone"

Halloween approaches and the town of Skene Falls is gearing up for one of its most important fund-raising festivals. The best part of the soggy scarecrows, witch hats, and fake cobwebs strewn about town will be the haunted maze inside the beloved Ten Acre Wood.

But Haywood Wheaton has escaped from jail and mutated into an insane half-Pixie, half-Faerie with a vengeance. He’s leading bands of enthralled dandelion Pixies and attacking humans as well as other Pixies. Will his poison dipped hawthorn spike swords and his fascination with fire destroy the entire festival before it gets started?

Once again Thistle Down gathers her friends, both Pixie and human, to save the town. But it may send her back to Pixie forever and end the deep love between her and Dick.

Twelve years have passed since we last visited the Dragon Nimbus. Shayla is still the matriarch of the nimbus. She has a new brood of dragonets seeking their destiny along with the children of Jaylor and Brevelan at the University of Magicians and with Darville and Mikka, king and queen of Coronnan.
