The book is now available both in physical bookstores and on digital platforms, thus expanding access for readers interested in contemporary narrative and the structured learning of the techniques that make it possible to tell a story with impact.
This book presents a unique opportunity for those who wish to begin writing, as well as for those who enjoy reading short stories with diverse themes. Hernán Porras Molina has brought together in one publication 30 original stories accompanied by reflections, technical resources, and editorial tools that have been key in his creative process. The objective is clear: to inspire, teach, and entertain.
A work that unites creativity with narrative technique
Los Cuentos de Mis Cuentos is not simply a collection of stories. It is also a practical manual of creative writing that allows the reader to identify narrative structures, dialogue styles, character construction, and setting. Hernán Porras Molina openly shares the secrets he has learned throughout his career, explaining how each story was conceived and what tools he used to shape it.
Each story is accompanied by an analysis that highlights the key elements of the narrative used. This structure turns the book into a didactic resource for aspiring writers, as it offers concrete examples of how to apply different techniques within a work of fiction.
The approach is not limited to theory. In each section, the author invites the reader to reflect, to write, and to experiment, turning the act of reading into an active practice. It is an interactive book that awakens creativity, but also provides clarity for those who want to turn their ideas into literary texts.
30 stories that cover emotions, conflicts, and universal experiences
The collection includes stories of love, loss, discovery, irony, fear, betrayal, redemption, and humor. The thematic diversity of these stories is one of the book’s strongest points. Hernán Porras Molina has created a selection that reflects the multiplicity of human emotions, addressing different genres and literary styles that range from everyday realism to symbolism and allegory.
Each story is a demonstration of the author's versatility. Some tales feature agile and direct dialogue, while others rely on deep and paced description. This variety allows the reader not only to enjoy the stories but also to observe how the style adapts depending on the story’s intent. The work is therefore neither homogeneous nor monotonous; on the contrary, it is a rich showcase of narrative forms in action.
