This has been killing me and it might have been answered before but how do you pronounce everyone's names in Nightwalker?
I would need to de-program myself if I'm saying them wrong cause it's hard to correct after reading it like that for so long.

No problem. I'll answer any question that I can.
Is there anyone in particular that you were looking for? There are a lot of names in the book.
Danaus -- Da (short a) Na (long a) Us (short u)
Mira -- sounds sort of like Miranda
Jabari -- Ja (short a) bar (sounds like the place you get a drink) i (long i)
Sadira -- Sa (short a) Dir (sounds like deer) a (short a)
Are there any others? I hope this helps!

Well, I was doing Danaus completely wrong!  I had two ways of saying it, either Dan - us, or Dan - ouse (like mouse) |

Danaus -- Da (short a) Na (long a) Us (short u) Now now, i read it wrong! I think it's too late for me to "hear" it right in my head. i read it like Danaos/Danaus in the Greek mythology something like Dan - (h)ouse- (just like daeonica thought) |

lol. It's not a big deal if you don't hear the names exactly how I hear them. All that matters is that you enjoy them and the story that is wrapped around the characters.
;D

I've been studying too much Japanese, so whenever I come across a name I don't know how to pronounce, I toss a Japanese pronunciation on it and sometimes I end up pretty close and sometimes I miss the mark by a mile. but, I think it's more about you knowing who you're talking about and if someone says something close to what you think the name is, then you can still know that's who they're talking about.

How are you supposed to say 'Naturi'?
I've got about 3 different ways I use...

Na (short a) tur (sounds like tour) i (long e sound)
