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.32: Time to Shine, or Not (The Mandela Effect V.2, Daughter and Wife) e.1
10 August 20112, and this time its 34 dead as the cops and security protected the Loxton Mine against the angry women who were joined by several men. The Loxton Mine was intact, and that was what Pieter was paid to ensure.
The Farlam Commission, chaired by judge Ian Farlam, took place in Rustenburg, with the outcome being that Pieter was indeed the fall guy. He was held accountable and was stripped of his rank, forced to resign from the South African Police Services, and told to write letters of apology to the families of the victims killed during the two massacres.
Vincent Khoza gave Pieter a call to tell him that Ace Mabuza was happy that the former Lieutenant had not mentioned his employer’s name during the Farlam Commission hearing.
Ch.31: Pieter on the Trail (The Mandela Effect, V.1 Black and White) e.1
With General du Toit set for a day off from duty, Professor Strijdom hatches a plan to get Pieter Erasmus released in a bid for the Lieutenant to get to the island to protect Mandela. Pieters mind is racing. He has not seen Lindiwe for quite sometime. What if he found himself in a situation of saving one of Lindiwe or Mandela? He was also unsure as to how much he could trust the Professor. Most of the government workers were just that, workers not thinkers. Although the Professor seemed more liberal than most, trusted nobody outside of Lindiwe and himself. The Professor was bright enough to realise that SA could not be ruled by the white minority forever, but who was he reporting too?
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: All over Bar the Shouting (The Mandela Effect, V.1 Black and White) e.1
Finally, the four heroes get to spend some time with Nelson Mandela in a meeting room. Mandela thanks Lindiwe for saving his life. Lindiwe explains that it was actually a team effort. She is quick to work out that some of the words placed in her mind by Mandela, were to warn her of difficult times ahead after his Presidency. Lindiwe confirms to Mandela that the time is right for his exit from prison and the New South Africa should not be held back any longer, for the sake of the people. Once out of the meeting room, Pieter and Lindiwe walk to the shoreline. She spots a rock and it brings back memories of her father. She sees it is the same one where her father scratched her name, many years before. She asks Pieter to scratch Lindiwe on the rock.
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.
