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
Cyril Says Things are Looking Up (African Kitchen Comics)
Chef to assistant chef: “Cyril says things are looking up.” Assistant Chef: “Yes, but he didn’t say up to what.”
(Note: Many think SA’s future is up to dwang)
Ch.14: Zimbabwean Transformation (The Mandela Effect, V.1 Black and White) e.1
It is agreed to form a new constitution for Zimbabwe with several ZAPU members to serve on the new Cabinet. Perhaps Mugabe had listened where PW Botha wouldn’t and Zimbabwe would be the success story. Of course, Mugabe has built his own counter plans. He has no intention of letting Nkomo gain too much power. His first prize is a one-party state. However, for the sake of diplomacy with the international Human Rights lawyer, Pearce Ellison, he pretends to toe the line. Mugabe realises that Mandela could soon be released from the island, and he needs to position himself as a winner in the minds of the people, before the ANC man takes the limelight.
Ch.15: A Visit to Gogo (The Mandela Effect, V.1 Black and White) e.1
Lindiwe meets Louise Burrell for coffee in Pretoria and tells her about the dream that she had. Some of the words that Louise speaks over coffee, were the very words that Louise spoke in Lindiwe’s dream. This freaks Lindiwe out a bit. Louise asks about Lindiwe’s background and the girl explains how her mother died giving birth to her and she was raised by Gogo Albertina Buthelezi. Pieter arrives and is on a mission to find out as much as he can about Lindiwe’s plan is to visit Albertina to find out more about the stories that the old woman had shared with the girl. Pieter, having heard part of the conversation, is also keen to get to Albertina. The race is on as to who will get to the old lady first.
Ramaphosa Holds The Power (African Kitchen Comics)
I am starting to lose faith now for this #Eskom situation. Unfixable. Lets sell it.
Ch.06: A Man on a Mission (The Mandela Effect V.2, Daughter and Wife) e.1
Pieter Erasmus wakes up in 1 Military Hospital in Pretoria. He finds his wrists chained to the bed. The cops want information from him as to what is his link with Lindiwe and why did she disappear and where too. Having Lost Lindiwe Snr and Lindiwe Jnr, Pieter opts to fulfil the wish of his racist parents by plotting to kill black people. After escaping from the hospital, he heads to Pretoria central armed with a shotgun. His mind races through South Africa’s history regarding the road to democracy which included the assassination of Chris Hani (SA Communist Party leader) and the AWB’s attempted assistance in keeping Lucas Mangope in charge of the Apartheid puppet black homeland of Bophuthatswana. When two of his cop colleagues were killed by blacks in Mamelodi, his racist spirit grew to new heights. Despite this, he refrains from pulling the shotgun trigger.
Ch.16: Three is a Crowd (The Mandela Effect, V.1 Black and White) e.1
Before the trio can leave the coffee shop, government security officials arrive on a mission to deport Louise Burrell. While her paperwork is in order, clearly her trip to the island was not good news to all. Eventually, after a shouting match scene in front of patrons, Louise is taken away by the security men. Lindiwe watches on, but as a black girl in Apartheid SA, there is little that she can do, even with Lieutenant Pieter Erasmus next to her. Pieter and Lindiwe agree to meet at 5pm for further talks. Neither are actually serious about the meeting. Both are on a mission to get to Albertina Buthelezi as soon as possible. With Louise gone, Pieter has to settle the ladies bill for coffee and cake, as Lindiwe cannot afford too.
