Madame Perry's Salon

It is said that Santos Andújar is more automaton than man. The mysterious aristocrat living in 1897 San Juan barely survived the unknown illness that killed his entire family and left him with multiple prosthetics to lead a reclusive existence. Yet Santos’ darkly whimsical world is besieged by a visit from his beautiful and hedonistic cousin, Violeta Andújar during the onset of the Spanish-American War.  Let the enigmatic Gentleman of San Juan transport you through Carolina Cardona’s lyrical and cinematic journey straight into an uncanny romance you never saw coming.  A romance with a man who may not be a man at all.

Born on the haunted side of Puerto Rico, steampunk author Carolina Cardona fell in love with the English language while living in another beautiful and possessed place: New Orleans. She majored in English Literature and has a Master’s Degree in Comparative Literature. Carolina currently lives in Davie, Florida, where she makes a living as an award-winning travel and content editor. She’s an enthusiast of tropical living, Tim Burton and robot love stories.

With a unique blend of rock sensibilities and folky textures, the sound of Run Katie Run condenses into a singular force of energy and power. American Songwriter 

Kate Coleman may be front and center in Run Katie Run, but the band’s new album, Cowboy Boots with Fishnet Tights, due out April 28, deeply reflects the community surrounding her. Its 13 Americana/roots-rock tracks cover the good, the sad, the inspired, and the tired — and everything in between — about relationships of all kinds. A few of the songs, in fact, are true stories starring Kate’s family members. - RKR website

Bob Gardner is the Founder of The Freedom Specialist, a body-based approach to happiness, health, and well-being. He is also the author of the book Built for Freedom and host of the podcast Alive and Free. As a Transformational Specialist Bob’s aim is to share his unique tools with the world that help them find happiness, health, and well-being.

In our current mental health and recovery paradigm, we often treat symptoms without looking deeper into the root causes of mental health struggles. As a result, many of us have resigned ourselves to struggling and being unhappy as “just part of the human experience” But what if it isn’t?!  What if there are actually steps we can  take that would set us free from stress, addiction, anxiety, and even depression. What if you can actually teach your body to instinctively release the trauma and  live in joy rather than fear?     Bob Gardner's revolutionary approach offers a fresh perspective on living in a way that makes trauma disappear for good. Bob’s unique system focuses on working with your body to produce joy and well-being on auto-pilot no matter what has happened in your past.
