Friday Forecaster: Ketaki Shriram

Ketaki Shriram has been crafting compelling stories from the tender age of eight, when she completed her first short story for a local book fair.

Over the next few years her love of writing grew so intense that by age 10 she had completed her first long form fictional story. By 13, she had completed her first novel, Sorceress of the Himalayas, which she had published at age 16. And today was her 17th birthday!

When she is not writing, Ketaki, an outstanding student, is highly active in her high school's student government (as student body president) and is opinion editor on her school newspaper. She is currently working on her next novel.

You can catch Ketaki at the following area book signings:
