Ashra
asked
Alwyn Hamilton:
Hi Alwyn. My name is Ashra. And never did I ever think my unusual name would ever show up in a young adult novel. Even though the Ashra from your novels is not a main character, the fact that she is mentioned as a heroine at all was very pleasing... Might I ask you where you discovered that name?
