Andy Rash: Hello. My name is Andy Rash, and growing up with the last name Rash could be tough sometimes. There are some people who would make fun of my name when I was a kid, but once I started publishing books, I really began to love my last name and people started accusing me of having made it up as if it was a special pen name because they thought it suited my work so much. I thought that was amazing that people would think that of all the names in the world, I would choose Rash as a way to describe myself. But now I'm very comfortable with the last name Rash.
