How story develops from an idea or thought.

I was traveling in Africa and working on a documentary film in the country of Uganda, and found myself reading a lot about the causes of cancer, as I saw some of the people that subsequently were afflicted with the disease.

This simple thought and change of pace from my regular life in California led to the book Injustice for Gold in Africa.

“Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes. But, even for cancer, there is only one prime cause. Summarized in a few words, the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar.”

-Otto Warburg

This quote from Otto Warburg led me down a completely different path in life. In my book Injustice for Gold, my main character is a Nobel Prize-winning chemist that achieves to a varying degree after his wife dies a partial cure for cancer. Later in the story, he is forced to flee from Germany because he didn’t want to relinquish his research.

Leaving Germany, his only option becomes is to go to Africa, and meet his brothers Christian Pastor friend that runs a ministry. As a scientist, there are conflicting views as the people rely on an invisible God that he already refuted in his life. He then uses and recreates the medicine that he won the Nobel Prize for, but with one addition and that is Gold. Christoph, the main character finds that the missing ingredient in healing people of cancer, or any disease for that matter is Gold. Then he starts to heal some of the people in the small African country villages of Uganda, and the people hail him as the second coming of Christ and think God has sent him.

Everything is going well until his countrymen from Germany find out that there are dense mineral deposits of Gold and related minerals in the area of Africa that would help with ammunition and the war movement. This leads to the question of is there injustice or gold in Africa and how I came up with the story.
