Eric Alagan

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.

  1. Hello, Eric, and thanks for stopping by on my blog. Seems we have quite a bit in common. I also work in business and consultancy, and have written articles and books in that field for many years now. But I feel the need to have a more creative outlet, so, like you, I am experimenting, writing, sharing, just keeping the creative habit alive! Look forward to reading more from you. Good luck with your exploration!

  8. Eric, I followed you back from a ‘like’ on one of my poems (thank you).
    It’s quite a surprise to find a poet/engineer. 🙂
    Your blog is so lovely! I’m new to blogging and especially appreciate your formatting.
    Thank you for all your work and especially your sweet words to your wife.

    1. Dear Anil,
      No worries. I suppose you are like me – post a comment on another’s blog only when you have something worth saying.

      I usually tick “like” to let them know that I visited – unless it is a post I do not fancy (for me, vulgarities is a definite turn-off). Many bloggers, especially the start-ups, need the encouragement of a small tick – and I have discovered some very interesting bloggers who hardly have hits.

      God bless you and your lovely family,
      Eric

      Keep writing poetry…from your heart and you’ll be alright and even proud (though this aspect, treat with less respect)

      All good wishes,
