For Readers: How to pronounce the character’s names in Trinity Stones and The Angelorum Twelve Chronicles…

I know, I know. Some of their names are hard to pronounce. My apologies, but that’s what happens when your characters are real angels and demons :-)

Since this has been mentioned in early reviews, I figured I would offer some assistance. Since I’m a visual reader, they don’t bother me, but I totally get now that they may be driving some people to distraction. Trust me, I’m adding a glossary for book 2.

Here’s how to pronounce everyone’s name:

 
Cara: ‘kar’ + ‘a’(soft ‘c’ sound)

Kai: ‘ka’ + ‘i’ (same as 'kite’, cut off the ‘t’ sound)

Chamuel: ‘sham’ + ‘u’ + ‘el’

Michael: Really?  :-)

Sienna: ‘see’ + ‘n’ + ‘a’

Constantina: ‘con’ + ‘stan’ + ‘tina’

Achanelech: ‘ack’ + ‘n’ + ‘el’ + ‘ik’
(okay, I’ll admit this one took some time to roll off my tongue)

Emanelech: ‘em’ + ‘n’ + ‘el’ + ‘ik’ (same as above, starts with ‘em’)

Eae: ‘a’ + ‘e’ 

I hope that helps! Happy reading!
