About Me

Born with a passion for storytelling, Aarika is most fulfilled when she is employing the power of the written word. For that reason, you will often find her perusing the shelves of bookstores or jotting down autobiographical poems. When she is not reading or writing for pleasure, she enjoys encouraging others to discover the magic of doing so for themselves.

Aarika is married to a self-proclaimed golf enthusiast, with whom she shares a vivacious baby girl and a mischievous German shepherd named Vandy. She credits mochas and champagne for her unwavering energy in spite of the aforementioned.
