Writing
An aircraft engineer, logistician, and former corporate executive, Eric Alagan is also a keen observer of people.
Like many self-taught authors, Eric flowed with his muse and wrote thrillers, humour and even non-fiction. His writing gravitated to his passion for history and interest in geopolitics.
Now, he focuses on historical fiction rich in convoluted plots.
Eric’s novels draw from historical facts; myths; legends; and mores of the times. His stories fill with realism and transports the reader to experience life as it was in centuries past.
To give his muse an avenue for expression, Eric uses this blog. He writes flash fiction, haiku and verse in all genres.
He spends a typical day, reading, researching, writing, and revising his manuscripts.

Hobbies
He is also an exercise junkie and enjoys his daily walk-a-jogs. He loves road-biking. But after his 90-year-old grandma beat him in a cycling race, he stays away from road-biking.
He wanted to take up sky-diving but Grandma beat him to it too—she already has 84 jumps to her credit including 12 free-falls from 15,000 feet. Grandma is also into rock-climbing, lumber-jacking and scuba-diving.
Eric has decided that he will simply try to out-live her.

Eric, you were so generous in commenting on my posts and I just found they all got shunted into the spam filter. Near as I can tell, it happened due to your email address format. Tried to send you a private message about this but went in circles. All your comments have been rescued and posted. Thank you! And, I’m enjoying Fallen Grace!
You can email me at eric.alagan@Lcabooks.com
Once my first comment is ‘rescued’ – all subsequent comments come through. Long story 🙂
Glad you are enjoying Fallen Grace.
All peace and good wishes,
Eric

Hey! I’ve tagged you in a game of blog tag. Here is the link to my blog if you would like to have some fun answering the questions.
http://shalvikap.wordpress.com/2012/07/16/lets-do-the-tag-o/
Thank you Shalvika. This looks interesting…let me get back 🙂
Hello Eric! Finally I have found the time to go through your blog, and it certainly fascinates 🙂 Please bear with me as my control of the English language is perhaps not as powerful as the other commentators here haha, I have to confess though, this paints for me a different picture of the Eric Alagan that I know, and that intrigues me to no end! Looking forward to exploring your writings, musings, thoughts etc.
Hello there Shafeeq – this is a pleasant and wonderful surprise.
You’ve always impressed me as ‘many cuts’ above – you know that and you know what I mean.
As you probably guessed, we show different sides in different environments – you know me from the corporate world…
Hope to see you around more. Meanwhile, keep well – “Arab” 🙂
All good wishes, Eric
You have a wonderful blog here, Eric! I’m gonna follow you and look forward to reading more of your stuff. 🙂
Thank you Shalvika. Hope my writing can keep the flame alive 🙂

Thank you for dropping by and reading my Predilection. I dabble in poetry to help release the pent up words that don’t make it into my books. Nice to meet a fellow author.
You are so right. Verse helps release that which prose corrals.
Thank you for the visit and comment.
P/s Your blog cautions about adult themes…Hmmm, hope it is not too graphic.
P/s Left a comment in your post Suburbia 2012, You might want to check your blog’s spam folder. Anyway, here it is:
It is the same in Singapore – we are lonely in crowds. People do the same – eyes averted, stingy nods of acknowledgement. Hey, wait a moment – what am I doing about it instead of complaining. I smile…and smile…and smile at people. Most ignore, some acknowledge. It is hard but it reflects poorly on them more than on me. I’m in control of my happiness – not them.
I really look forward to reading more of your work. Extremely impressive.
Thank you. Such encouragement keeps me going. Cheers, Eric
