Claudia Carroll
Author

" The Long Shadow "

The Long Shadow is a sensual, romantic mystery with roots in the pre and WWII era of Paris, Berlin, which reach into current time, weaving a tangled and dangerous web around François, a Paris magazine publisher, and his Irish-American Taos, New Mexico photographer lover, Claudia.

Pursued on two continents, François and Claudia are totally in the dark about why, until Claudia stumbles onto a series of frightening clues which suggest an ugly resurgence of Nazi terrorism from an unsuspected part of the globe. How does François' father, well-known Jewish artist Elie Rosenberg, a former student of the Bauhaus, figure in this? And what do Latinos and native Americans have to do with neo-Nazis?

Claudia Carroll, who writes under the pen name CJ Carroll, received a late-date Masters in Arts in Education from Harvard (2002) and has engaged in various forms of journalism, creative writing and art for many years. She is working on a sequel to The Long Shadow. Visit

Our Guest of Honor:

Fred Collay
Language Consultant

Setting Up A Language Training Business in Paris

Fred Collay has been a language trainer for six years and decided to become self-employed (start up his own business) two years ago. He has a broad background which helps him in designing teachers' programs and activities. He is especially gifted in creating games, situations and topics.

After pursuing studies in journalism, history and communications, Fred moved from France to England, where he began his teaching career as an Extra English Teacher. Back in France in 2000, he moved forward, still teaching in schools and working in companies such as France Telecom and Renault. Then in 2005 Fred left schools behind him and started his own company C.L.E.F.(Clubs Linguistiques de Experience et de Formation) and secured clients such as Hilton, eBay, Mederic (insurance) and Crédit Mutuel. Fred’s clients have learned that they can expect good teaching (in French and in English) and a high level of interpersonal involvement.

On Wednesday, Fred's talk will include "tips to would be teachers" as well as concrete advice, based on his own experiences, in setting up a language business.

RENDEZ VOUS AVEC PATRICIA
This Sunday 11 February At 18h30

Our Guest of Honor

Y. Euny Hong
Journalist and Author

" Kept: A Comedy Of Sex And Manners "

Kept: A Comedy of Sex and Manners tells the story of Judith Lee, a 26 yr old Korean American Yale grad living in NYC who has been raised to believe she is an aristocrat. Having never learned to make herself likeable or useful, she incurs monstrous debts. Judith´s seedy aunt introduces her to Madame Tartakov, a beautiful, harpyish Russian emigre and former ballerina who faked Jewish ancestry to gain asylum in the US, and who now runs a brothel of high-class courtesans out of her East 62nd street townhouse. She will pay off all of Judith´s debts in exchange for two years of service at said brothel--and she´ll have to tie her tubes. Seems like a stiff price, but how could a snob like Judith possibly resist the opportunity to live with girls descended from the likes of Vlad the Impaler and Ethelred the Unready?

Y. Euny Hong was the first-ever television columnist for the US Edition of The Financial Times. Her articles have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal Europe, The International Herald Tribune, The New Republic, The Washington Post;, The Boston Globe, and The Forward, among others. A Yale University graduate (Philosophy), she was recently awarded a Fulbright Young Journalists Award. Euny is working on her second novel. Please visit www.eunyhong.com

Brand Strategist

Writing Your Bio - The Ultimate Networking Tool

The bio has many purposes and can be used in these situations: following a networking event and meeting a key person, you send a follow-up email with your bio attached. A resume might be too heavy (overload), and a bio is easier to read and “digestible”. A second possible scenario…. send your bio in advance of an initial meeting with an individual where you want to set the stage. This can save a lot of time, as once you do meet, you can “cut to the chase”. A third use of the bio is to post on association, club, alumni, company, and personal sites. There are many more ways to use the bio which can even be sent with your resume to round it out and “soften” the edges. My personal opinion is that the bio is a key element in your brand tool kit…..a “must have”. Bios are my area of expertise. I have helped many clients write their bios and tell their story in a compelling way.

Bernadette Martin is a multi-lingual Brand Strategist with a 15 year career working in various aspects of brand management. This profession has taken her to Asia, Europe and the U.S. where she has held positions in corporate, agency and academic environments. A move to Paris in 2002 coincided with a transition from corporate branding to personal branding where her clients are entrepreneurs, solopreneurs and individuals in career transition. She helps clients develop their professional and personal brand whether in a verbal, written or online context. Bernadette has worked with more than 200 clients developing their brand positioning, messaging and image.
