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.

Hi Eric, thanks for liking my posts Random Encounter and Living Deliberately. I don’t write poems but I admire those who do. Keep up with yours and congratulations on your nominations!
Thank you and much appreciate your visit. Cheers, Eric
You’re clearly a rennaissance man. There isn’t enough people like you in this world today, I’ll tell you that.
Pleased to meet you!
Well, I am honoured indeed. Thank you kind sir.
Thanks Eric for liking my poem on “Dreaming of Dreams”. I am looking forward to reading your poems to see your view points on different emotions that are everyday in life.
Thank you for the return visit and comment.
Your poem touched on ‘reality’ and hinted about ‘illusion’. That is interesting, as I will be posting a poem soon, about these two subjects.
All good wishes, Eric
Thank you so much for stopping by. I am very new to this and am thankful that you have retained your sight after reading my poem. More to come, I promise.
Thank you again…so much.

Best wishes!
Dear Eliza,
I find your poems easy to read – not at all ambiguous, yet lend themselves to different interpretations.
Eric > the eternal ruler (Hmmm…)
Let you in on another: Alagan means “good looking” in Tamil 🙂
Cheers, Eric
Thank you for your “Like”. it always helps boost the confidence to get one of those. it does not look like yours needs boosting though…
You are very welcome. I trawl blogosphere, looking for gems. I found one in your blog and plan to return, as I am sure there are more. We all can do with a boost or two 🙂
