About Me

Hi there, I'm Francisco A. Caetano

I’m a Portuguese author writing thrillers, mysteries, and speculative fiction—stories where one impossible rule collides with very human choices. I’m drawn to page-turners with tight internal logic, escalating stakes, and secrets that don’t stay contained for long.By day, I work in a demanding operations role that keeps me close to real-world problem-solving, high pressure, and the kind of details that matter when things go wrong. That mindset follows me into my fiction: I outline obsessively, track timelines, and revise until every scene is clean, sharp and inevitable.When I’m not writing, I’m usually drawing digitally, building character bibles, or enjoying the little pleasures of life like spending time with my husband and my three dogs.

My debut: Borrowed Bodies: A Body-Hopping Thriller

I’m currently writing my debut novel called Borrowed Bodies—an addictive, high-stakes thriller set around a closed-circle dinner party where a single impossible mechanism hijacks identity and turns the night into a weapon. The rules are precise, the consequences compound, and every reset tightens the trap.
I’m developing the timeline, refining the “body-hopping” logic, and sharpening the reveals so every twist feels inevitable in hindsight. This will be my first release as a self-published author.

Also in development: The Convergence Cycle: A Speculative Thriller Series

In parallel, I’m outlining a speculative thriller series that blends real world mysteries, strange phenomena, and interlocking conspiracies across a larger arc—built for long-form escalation and big reveals.
