I’ve had several people ask how to pronounce the names and places in my novel Coils of the Serpent. I’ve created an IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) pronunciation guide for the first ten chapters.
Use the link at the bottom of the page if you’re curious on what they sound like. I recommend using a German or Dutch voice.
