Aris Whittier: ~Canopy Bed~

My name is Aris. Aris is pronounced (heiress) and I'm not sure what the meaning is. Several years ago, when I was asked what my name meant, I replied that Aris was a Greek Sexx Goddess (what can I say I'm a romance writer). Unfortunately, my husband happened to be near, he looked over at me, rolled his eyes, and said very loudly "I wish". I've moved on to another story, which happens to be true. I was born in the seventies to a pair of hippies, real hippies. Having said that, I think I got off lucky with the name Aris. It could have been much worse, Fruit Stand or something like that. So, Aris it is.

~Canopy Bed~

My daughter is dreaming…actually begging, for a canopy bed. I was open to the notion… I remember how cute and frilly the canopy beds were when I was young. Well, I might have opened a huge can of worms…I didn’t realize how elaborate and amazing canopy beds had evolved. Heck, I want one...

This is what I remember…
