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.
