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.

~Amazing Libraries~

Everyone knows I absolutely love to read but they may not know I love libraries. I can easily spend an hour or two in a library and not even realize it. Check out some of these beautiful libraries. They are a sight to behold. I could stay forever in any of these. Do you reading addicts agree? The smell of old books is intoxicating!

  1. Beautiful libraries! Thanks - I would never have known about some of them. I'm surprised no images of the Library of Congress or The NY Public Library
