Eric Blue is a modern era storyteller who sees things differently than most writers do. He spots the “story behind the story” and his mind works on the “what could have been” scenario. He focuses on the mirror image to give the readers an in-depth look at how life could have been.
I am fascinating with stories-how stories change lives, how stories influence histor(ies) and universe(s), how stories have been recorded and told.
His work may be fiction, but it also could have been today’s headline news. Eric’s writing is built on a passion to boldly go where other writers seldom thing about going.
Kindly note that some of Eric’s work is on a free-to-the-public basis. Being a full-time businessman and family man, Eric is open to receiving ideas from the public that can bring to life in the form of a book. With his novels and short stories that have being available free of charge to the public, remuneration will not be available for ideas provided. The pleasure will be in seeing your idea being brought to life!
He is always on the lookout for cartoonists too, as drawing is a big part of the Eric Blue storytelling plan.

Some of My Works
Ch.37: Blocked and Frustrated (The Mandela Effect, V.1 Black and White) e.1
Once out of the trance, Lindiwe tells Pieter Erasmus about what she had seen in her visit to 1973. Pieter doesn’t know who this ‘Zuma’ is, but is disappointed that Lindiwe never got to see Mandela. Meanwhile, a warden reports to Vorster over the fact of having seen Pieter and Lindiwe on the island. Vorster issues a security alert with wardens on the march to find Pieter and the girl. The urgency among the wardens was as if a prisoner had escaped. Pieter and Lindiwe make a run for the nearest corridor to find some form of safety. The wardens are struggling to find the pair and the jetty and ferry are double-checked. Panic is setting in as Pieter and Lindiwe are nowhere to be found. Nobody wants to tell that to Vorster.
Ch.14: Doing it for Verwoerd (The Mandela Effect V.2, Daughter and Wife) e.1
Pieter thinks through the story of the assassination of former South African President Hendrik Verwoerd, who was stabbed to death by the liberal-minded Dimitri Tsafendes in Parliament in 1966. The world saw Verwoerd as a pure racist. Pieter’s parents saw Verwoerd as a ‘great man’
Pieter takes aim at his target from the apartment overlooking Lilian Ngcoyi Square. His thought pattern is interrupted by the voices on the television screen in the lounge where a soap opera is being aired and a white woman is acting out a kissing scene with a black man.
While employed in the South African Police Services, Pieter was one of many Afrikaners who had lost faith in the ANC-led South African government. The government’s Black Economic Empowerment strategy, saw many public sector jobs going to blacks ahead of whites. If the government did not want to change its ways, then radical Afrikaners would have to act in whatever way possible, thought Pieter.
Ch.5: Laying Down the Law (The Mandela Effect, V.1 Black and White) e.1
Washington D.C-based human rights lawyer Pearce Ellison is experiencing his own Apartheid. The African-American is the sole black on his company’s board. Every idea that he puts on the table is shot down. He needs to land a case and a client that will see him respected by his colleagues. Nelson Mandela! He gets his Personal Assistant to book his trip to South Africa, without letting his colleague know. Pearce is an attention-to-detail person. He has done his homework on SA’s Apartheid leaders, from PW Botha, to Pik Botha, Barend du Plessis, Chris Heunis, Constand Viljoen and F.W. De Klerk. Pearce needs to make a friend in South Africa. Someone who will lead the way for him to access Mandela. It is 1987 and Apartheid rules, but the African-American has not given up hope.
Ch.27: Eyes in the Back of Your Head (The Mandela Effect V.2, Daughter and Wife) e.1
Pieter believes that he could be the next to be eliminated.
During a briefing, he surveys the map of the area, and he remembers Vincent Khoza telling him that there are no people living near shafts 03 and 04. The question was, how truthful was Vincent being, or was he setting up Pieter to pay the price for a human rights disaster?
After most had left the meeting, Pieter found an ally in Chris Chuene, a security manager who had worked on the mine there for over fifteen years. Chris knew the area and the role-players and trusted the cops as little as Pieter the Lieutenant trusted his colleagues.
Chris reveals that he understands Ace Mabuza and the Police Commissioner Lawrence Mathibe to be half-brothers. However, there is no love lost between the two and Sithole had found some incriminating information on Mabuza, which could have led to the businessman’s assassination on route to Marikana.
Ch.6: Township Times (The Mandela Effect, V.1 Black and White) e.1
The SA Police bus arrives in Laingsburg in the Karoo, on route to Cape Town, where the Pretoria cops will help their Cape Town colleagues in quelling a black uprising planned for Gugulethu township. While the cops wait at the fuel station’s shop to received their hamburgers and coffees, some of them racially abuse the coloured female staff on duty. This was racist SA at its best! Once in Gugulethu, the police use brutal force to stop the protest, leaving several blacks dead or injured. Afterwards, Pieter escapes to the Cape Town harbour to meet up with a contact that his Colonel, Jaap Cornelius, set up for him. Pieter is on a mission to get onboard the ferry to make the trip to Robben Island. There he will pull off the most evil deed in executing Mandela, which will change global history forever.
