Kay asked Kelley Armstrong:

Hey Kelley! Just a silly little question about Elena. I've noticed that over in the US the name is pronounced El-aye-nah, whereas in Australia its El-ee-nah (I think it's this way in Europe too, but I'm not sure). I know this is the part where most authors say it's up to the reader how to pronounce the name. But I was just wondering how YOU pronounce Elena? Since she is your creation haha.

Kelley Armstrong I use the Elaine-ah pronunciation, which I think is more common, but I've had readers get downright annoyed when they hear me say it that way after they've called her Ellen-ah in their heads all these years :)
