There are three sides to this story. Do you dare to discover the truth?

I'm giving you the first chapter of my most uncomfortable novel for free, Of Sex and Other Matters. A story of desire, secrets, and lies told from three points of view. If you are not afraid of confrontational truths, this is your place.

The Author Behind the Mirror.

Midalys Padrón

Midalys Padrón

Midalys doesn't write to embellish reality, but to hold up a mirror to it. Her stories are born from a deep conviction: to heal a wound, one must first dare to face it head-on.

Born in Cuba, she knew from a young age that stories were a refuge. What began with recreating radio dramas became a vital necessity after a long and painful journey to freedom. After the Cuban government denied her a future and after spending months detained at the Mexican border, literature became her only form of alchemy: the only remedy capable of transforming trauma into art and silence into words.

Inspired by the courage of women like Frida Kahlo and Sylvia Plath, Midalys writes for those who are not afraid of complexity. Her books, like the novel Of Sex and Other Matters and the short story collection Broken Butterflies, are an invitation to that uncomfortable and honest space where the truth that is often untold, and that we so often try to hide, resides.

I didn't know about this author, I took a chance on buying the book because the title is very interesting and it was worth it. I would buy another one if she wrote it ;)

I started reading it because a friend recommended it to me and from the beginning I was hooked. The story of these characters is full of passion and motives. The plot is perfectly developed and presented without taboos, without hypocrisy. I am waiting for a second part. I highly recommend it.

I liked it a lot.... very interesting... the way the plot is told, the sexual details are really passionate, and the best part is the surprise at the end.... I think it's a very entertaining book and the most important thing is that we are supporting new talent. Sometimes we get tired of always reading the same thing and this was beyond my imagination, I never would have thought of it the way the writer did. I recommend it, it was very entertaining.

I came across this book in the middle of the night while looking for a poetry book to read. It was a real discovery, both the book and the author. I started reading these short poems at 1:00 in the morning, and you can really feel the sadness and intensity of the emotions behind each one. The one that impacted me the most was the one about the ocean, and I hope you can read it for yourself. Honestly, I recommend it if you're looking for a short read that is full of emotion and depth.
