What’s Your Ashushk Name?
In LONELY SHORE, book two of Chaos Station, the crew of the Chaos visits Qekelough’s home planet, Ashushk Prime. We had a much more convoluted name picked out for it. Well, I did, but neither Jenn nor I could reliably spell it, and no one with a human mouth could say it. So we decided to give the planet a human designation and leave the unmentionables to the ashies. We did, however, have fun naming the other ashushk.
So, what’s your ashushk name?
Pick a letter. It can be from your name, or totally random—this is for fun, after all! Match the letter with the list and post your result in the comments below for a chance to win a copy of CHAOS STATION, book one of Chaos Station.

Soranydarough. From the first letter of my true love’s name. I like it! But I don’t really need to be in the contest. Already have Chaos Station and just finished Lonely Shore, which I adored. Along in the middle there I was crying for Zed and Felix. Fantastic book!
D’aww. Thanks for telling us you enjoyed the books, though. Big smiles over here. (If you win, you can gift the copy to someone else!)
Zaldibure, but you can call me Z. (And it’s just because I like the letter :P) I love all of these names! Congrats on the newest release!
Thanks!
Arilyache. I want to say it with a Klingon accent. Aw, please?
Lol, go right ahead! Ashushk, as a language, actually has a vaguely Khoison sound.
Jasinafuly! Because that’s the first letter of my real name! I like my … ashushk … name! (Hey I spelled it right!) Chaos Station is on my list to buy asap, but I think now I’ll wait till after I find out if I won or not. 😉
Good luck! And thanks for the share. 🙂
Reblogged this on J. R. FRONTERA and commented:
These two lovely ladies have written an awesome book, and you can win a copy for your own by commenting on this fun post! 🙂
Banquelar – that’s me! 🙂 I was going to choose Jasinafuly (J for Jonah and all) but didn’t want to tread on JRFrontera’s toes -hee hee – so I went for B for Bergan instead.
Banqueler is actually an ashushk character in Lonely Shore. So, I approve of this choice. 🙂
Pekoess… because P is the first letter of my name!
I think that’s the shortest name on the list, hehe.
Jasinafuly. Because J. and why not?
That’s what the J. actually stands for, right?
Some many interesting letters left, Luzanike perhaps 🙂
It was a fun list to make. 🙂
