Alphabet challenge: One of the main characters must have a first or last name starting with the designated letter OR the author’s name can start with the letter. The only one I’m worried about is the XYZ letter set, so with that one, any of the secondary character can have that for a name. (And if they are named Alexander, but are usually called Zander that’s OK too.)
