I’ve had a few posts up about
the books on the Ubuntu line by Decadent Publishing. I’d like to take a minute
to explain the meaning of ubuntu.
From Ubuntu.com
“Ubuntu is an ancient African word
meaning 'humanity to others'. It also means 'I am what I am because of who we
all are'.”
We can’t talk about Africa for twenty six posts without
mentioning the late Mr. Nelson Mandela. It so happened that he spoke about Ubuntu for
the product Ubuntu Linux. May his legacy of forgiveness, peace, and love, live on in Africa and the world.
I'm taking a moment to advertise my latest novel written in the Ubuntu line.
Blurb
Ghanaian
nurse Aurora ‘Ora’ Aikins never expected to find the love of her life while on
vacation in South Africa. Engaged to another and believing that love has no
place in her life, she returns to Ghana, and puts duty and honor first.
Three
years later, Dr. Jason Lartey still can’t get Ora out of his mind or his heart.
After learning she never married, he takes a risk and moves to Ghana hoping to
rekindle what they started. His sudden appearance in Ora’s Emergency Department
sends sparks flying all over again.
They’re
in the same country, working in the same hospital, and together but distance
creeps between them. Can they make their destined love one for the ages?

DeleteUbuntu, do you pronounce it how it looks?
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question. I pronounce it ooboontoo. I've been known to mispronounce a lot of African words.
DeleteI wish the whole world followed Ubuntu. It would be a different world then.
