Independent Author

Stories I waited a lifetime to tell.

I started writing at fifteen and never published. After 45 years in industry, I finally opened the drawer. Fiction, suspense, comedy, action — and the wellness research I wrote first for myself, because growing older with knowledge is growing older better.

About the Author

A late start, a lifetime of stories.

My name is Henrique Carvalho. I'm retired after 45 years in industry, with a postgraduate degree in Industrial Engineering.

I started writing at fifteen but never published a single page. The internet changed that. Today I share what I've spent decades quietly creating — fiction, suspense, comedy, action — alongside the research books I wrote first for myself: VisioCare on eye health, and Viva Sem Dor on living without pain. Because aging with knowledge is aging better.

The rest is fiction — and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
