Author has written 20 stories for Haiku, Mythology, Life, Love, Historical, Song, Nature, Fantasy, Religion, General, Biography, and Spiritual.

Introduction:
My name is Sarika and you have stumbled upon my story and poetry collective. Most of my stories tend to be historical or fantasy or mythology-inspired. I am a big fan of European history especially, as well as Greek and Celtic mythology- which probably shows in the majority of my work here. I also love reading, of course, as well as music and web design. If you care to know, I dwell in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, and I am nineteen years old.

Just a note:
If you review one of my stories/poems, I will try my best to review back. I appreciate constructive critisism, so I'll be more likely to review back if you take the time to do this (taking time to actually read my stories is also greatly appreciated). If I don't review you make and you really want me to, send me an e-mail and I will if you ask nicely.

I started many of my stories more than a year ago. I would like to think my writing has improved since then, even though sometimes I fear it hasn't. My point is this: I will eventually get around to fixing dumb mistakes (there are too many), be it typos that wreck sentences or dumb plots or terrible writing. I appreciate all the painful reviews- sometimes I think they are are more helpful in the end. All the "You're such an awesome writer!" and "I love love love love your story!" comments are nice. They keep me writing. But the "Wow, your writing sucks and this is why I think so..." comments keep me improving. Flames do nothing, though, and I am glad I haven't gotten any yet!
