What's new

My first book is free this weekend.

...You just let it come out the way you think it sounds and then that becomes the character's name to you. I know which character name tripped you up too...

the one with the wad in it? Or at least the one he wants to think had wad in it?

Actually the names aren't that difficult - and I'm someone who's also often tripped up by names, particularly in the fantasy genre

LOL at "wad". It doesn't have wad in it, but I have heard people, including my brother pronounce it that way. It is Ewzad, which has the vowel sounds of you sad.

The point I was making earlier though is that it doesn't matter how I think it should be pronounced. Whatever you come up with is correct for you and becomes the character for you when you read. This is one of the things I was nervous about when releasing an audiobook. When the narrator reads the character names different than a reader is used to, will it bother them? I feel that way sometimes when I watch a movie for a book I read. It was that way for a few names in Game of Thrones for me.
 
I read Eye of the Moonrat.

I liked the book, it was enjoyable.
I'll recommend it to the people I know that enjoy fantasy books.

Thanks for giving lazy cheapskates like me a chance to begin the series.
I'll look up the rest of the series as I have time, and pass the word along on the series.

this is why it is Ez-wad to me, even though I know it's not.
