I am a Storyteller (About Eric Blue)

I

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.16: Trigger reaction, or not (The Mandela Effect V.2, Daughter and Wife) e.1

Pieter was a loose cannon. He did not belong to an ultra-right wing militant party. He took aim at a black man at the nearest point of the square to him, but the shotgun refused to fire. The Lieutenant carefully took his weapon apart and cleaned it like he did daily. Again, he attempted to find his crouched shooting position, but four cop cars stopped below, halting his plan.
The cops were on the lookout for him following his absenteeism from work and he needed to keep a low profile.
He wanted to shoot, and even when the cops vehicles left there was another delay.
“I will always be here for you no matter what actions you carry out,” said the white woman to the black man in the soap opera on television.

Ch.9: Apartheid’s Watchdog (The Mandela Effect, V.1 Black and White) e.1

Like Pieter was following the ladies, intelligence services are keeping an eye on Pieter to find out if he was still a committed cop, or trading with the liberation struggle. Sitting with a black girl in Laingsburg did not help his cause. Meanwhile, back in Pretoria, a party is about to break out. Two ANC activists, whom the SA government’s ground force had been after for a good few months, are killed in a raid in Swaziland. One official at headquarters, predicts the truth without knowing it and comments that he hopes that Pieter Erasmus will actually eliminate Mandela which will send a warning to the liberation struggle as to who actually rules SA.

Ch.26: Lockdown (The Mandela Effect, V.1 Black and White) e.1

Pieter begins to think that he may not live to see daylight again. He asks the security team if he is going to become the next Steve Biko or Doctor Neil Aggett. Both men are believed to have been beaten to death in police custody for their anti-apartheid activism. However, at the time, the cops stated that both Biko, and Doctor Aggett, committed suicide, and were not beaten to death. Pieter talks to the General and the security team about the New South Africa. The General laughs and refuses to believe that blacks can run a country. In the mind of the General, white minority control will go on forever, let alone having Nelson Mandela as the first democratically-elected President by 1994.

Ch.04: Good morning, Lindwe (The Mandela Effect V.2, Daughter and Wife) e.1

Lindiwe wakes up in the Netcare Jakaranda Hospital and is bewildered at the new world of 2010. She is totally confused as to what MNET and a mobile phone are, let along a chap called Jacob Zuma being President of South Africa. What happened to F.W. de Klerk, she asked.
The last thing she could remember was it being 1991 and she was pregnant with her first child.
She asks after her boyfriend, Pieter, but the doctors think that she is delusional. Lindiwe accuses the doctors of playing with her mind and tries to escape from the bed where she is chained, but cannot.
Meanwhile, Colonel Jaap Cornelius is on the phone to his intelligence unit colleague, Wayne Burgess as both wait for Pieter to wake up.
They believe a third force is hiding Pieter or at worse, the Lieutenant has sold out to a third force. Pieter awakens from his state of unconsciousness and racial abuses a black doctor. In his mind, if he cannot find Lindiwe Snr or Lindiwe Jnr, he will fulfil his parents’ wishes and carry out some racial attacks for his country.
