Mercedes Ron is an Argentinian-born author who later moved to Spain, where she earned her degree in audiovisual communication at the University of Seville. Having “always dreamed of writing,” Ron began publishing “her first stories on Wattpad,” a popular online community that connects readers and writers (438). The three books in Ron’s Culpable Saga first appeared on Wattpad—My Fault (2017), Your Fault (2017), and Our Fault (2018)—all originally self-published in Spanish. The three novels were later republished by Bloom Books and have since been translated into over 10 languages. 

In the acknowledgments section of the source text, Ron identifies Wattpad as “the ideal forum to showcase [her] work” and commends the site for “helping [her] connect directly with [her] readers” (436). Ron’s Culpable novels were adapted into a Spanish romantic drama, Culpa Mía, by Prime Video in 2023, starring Nicole Wallace and Gabriel Guevara. Since the success of Ron’s Culpable Saga, she has gone on to publish two subsequent sagas: the Enfrentados Saga, which includes Ivory (2019) and Ebony (2019), and the Dímelo Saga, including Tell Me Softly (2020), Tell Me Secretly (2020), and Tell Me with Kisses (2021).
