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.21: Hanging on to Love (The Mandela Effect, V.1 Black and White) e.1
Like most of the black homelands in SA, Ciskei were reluctant to relinquish power and be incorporated into the New South Africa. A march on Ciskei, that included future President Cyril Ramaphosa, SACP Secretary-General Chris Hani and ANC stalwart Ronnie Kastrils, turns ugly when bullets are fired on the protestors by the Ciskei law enforcers. Clear strategic battlelines for power would later develop between the various African cultural groups, from the Xhosas (which included Mandela, Thabo Mbeki and Steve Tshwete) to the Sothos, Zulus and other groups.
Ch.10: I have a Dream (The Mandela Effect, V.1 Black and White) e.1
In a dream, Lindiwe imagines herself having all the benefits of a white woman in Apartheid SA. She sees herself driving a fancy car and living in a whites-only suburb in Pretoria. She also sees herself eating at the fanciest restaurants reserved for whites. She even learns that she will marry a white man. In her dream, she enters into dialogue with Louise Burrell who tells her that this is what she (Lindiwe) always wanted. Lindiwe thinks about Pieter. There is something about the cop that makes her weak at the knees, but she is struggling to work it out.
Ch.40: When Karma Comes to Town (The Mandela Effect V.2, Daughter and Wife) e.1
Ace Mabuza, who lived four houses away from where South African Communist Party leader Chris Hani was assassinated in Boksburg in 1993, is driven home by Vincent Khoza. As Ace exits the car and heads to his front door, he is gunned down by an assassin.
Vincent tries to make a run for it, but a bullet lodges in his skull killing him instantly.
Panel member Lerato Tshabalala had voted against Pieter at the commission. He went to sleep that night and never woke up the next morning.
Nikiwe Moeng, a hot model lookalike, who was also a member of the panel that voted against Pieter, gets the news that her thirteen-year-old son, Thato, has been killed by a reckless driver.
Police Commissioner Lawrence Mathibe had four wives. Little did he know that all four wives would perish on the same day from HIV-Aids symptoms.
The only white person on the panel, David Wilkinson, a lawyer, was caught manoeuvring funds in his law firm and lost his job.
Amos Marewa and Julius Shongwe were the two honest men on the panel and had supported Pieter’s cause. They lived out peaceful lives.
In the spirit, Nelson Mandela sheds a tear as he sees the Rainbow Nation battle Xenophobia, cash-in-transit heists, corruption and much more. He decides to do something about it from where he is.
Malema Eating Steak (African Kitchen Comics)
Malema of EFF (Eco-Friendly Food) says “African Meat is for Blacks Only!”. Are you in the Q also?
Ch.01: A Window of the New World (The Mandela Effect V.2, Daughter and Wife) e.1
At the Vosloo Grill in Pretoria, Colonel Jaap Cornelius is giving his views to Lieutenant Pieter Erasmus on how South Africa has gone backwards since the ANC came to power in 1994.
Bar lady, University of Pretoria law student Lindiwe Buthelezi, is the shining light in terms of commitment and excellent, but Jaap and his fellow conservative-minded Afrikaners would never see it that way.
Pieter is smitten by Lindiwe and plans on taking her away to Cape Town for the long weekend that is around the corner.
Ch.13: Déjà vu at the Square (The Mandela Effect V.2, Daughter and Wife) e.1
Pieter gets to the fifth floor of an apartment building to carry out his evil deed but he has a fear of heights and ends up on his hands and knees. He battles to breath. Was God trying to stop him? Like Mandela, he hears a voice in his head telling him that once he reaches the fifth floor, the inner voice cannot help him anymore. What will be will be.
The inner voice which Pieter believes is that of Lindiwe, tries to talk him out of the deed. She makes an example of the 25-years in prison sentence handed to Janus Waluz, after he assassinated South African Communist Party leader Chris Hani.
Pieter asks for a sign from God to prove that he should not go ahead with his task.
The shotgun feels heavier than before. Pieter would not walk around the busy square like Barend ‘Witwolf’ Strydom did when he opened fire on blacks in the late 1980s. Pieter would take careful aim and fire from the rooftop.
