I pronounce it "Rah-z(s)ah-lohm", but I am unsure if this would be correct.

Before she became an RN, she worked for British Columbia's leading surgeon of the middle ear.
The evil wizards name was "Ear Wax."
I still chuckle over that one.

I've always pronounced it Ra-sah-lohm, mostly because of the aliases Sara Lom and Sal Roma. It seemed to me like just rearranging the syllables.

That's more than likely where I got my idea of how to pronounce it, seeing as I read Conspiracies first. Hmmm.. and I never noticed the rearranging of the syllables. Only one I can think of that wouldn't apply (only slightly though) is Ms. Aralo, just because of the 'Ms.' part.

I'm anxious to read them. I just had to slow down my online buying for a little while. But Christmas is coming and I know what I'm asking Santa for this year!

Accent on the "RA." That's the way I think of it too.

So you put more of an emphasis on the 'Ra' part?
