The short answer is however you choose. In a world of imagination, let yours run wild!
Personally, when I fully enunciate, I pronounce Ea'ae simply... with a long e sound followed by a long a [ee-ey]. Sometimes, however, when I speak or think more rapidly, Ea'ae sounds a bit more like there's a y sound separating the two long vowels [ee-yey]. This happens naturally. So, the choice is yours. Either way, have fun! For the past eight years (mostly during nap times on the weekend), I have been working on a fantasy novel. What I originally conceived as one book has now become three as the story unfolded and the characters developed. Although far from perfect, the time has come to share my humble offerings to any who may be interested.
I started the story arch with a simple question, "What if we lived in a world where our beliefs were real, tangible, and actualizable?" So often characters in fantasies live in rich worlds full of marvels but they see and interact with the world just like you and me. I wanted to try something different. I wanted to create a story where the universe was alive with the beauty, wonder and magic of a unique point of view, where the main character sees and feels the currents that shape his perception and understanding, the radiant energy of life and magic flowing all around. Blending Eastern mysticism with Western fantasy, I wanted to explore the mind of an otherworldly martial ascetic, to share the experience of magic and belief made real. The Chronicles of the Fists trilogy is the outcome of this effort. I have lived with the books' characters and their stories over the past several years and hope they bring as much pleasure to you as they have for me! As much as I have enjoyed creating them, these books are living documents. If you notice anything that should be corrected or have suggestions on how to improve upon them, feel free to offer your input. Please help spread the word any way you choose.
