OUR LADY. An Erotic Novel By Dale Gershwin. Paris Soirees Dinner Sunday 12 November At 18h30

Our Guest of Honor:

Dale Gershwin: Author

Our Lady, An Erotic Novel

Set in Paris and Singapore (home of the Seven Deadly Goldfish), animated by a twist magnetizing set of off-beat characters, spiked with surprises and dizzying twists up to its very last word, Our Lady is a blend of The Perils of Pauline (crime!) adventure! suspense!), Basic Instinct (sex!). A Moveable Feast (romantic Paris!) and Marathon Man (running for your life!)

Our Lady thrusts us into a world of international crime- sex – philosophy where almost no one and nothing are what they originally seem: friends turn out to be enemies turn out to be friends, men – women, pawns – perpetrators, servants – masters. As we switch countries, continents and cultures in rapid succession, we discover who knew what before the other guy, who is not a guy at all!In the shadow of Paris’s renowned Notre Dame Cathedral (Our Lady). Leslie Brittain, a 33 year-old American PR consultant living in the French capital is targeted as an unknowing pawn in a case and drug-drenched plan, masterminded by the Police Commissioner himself, to blow up the Cathedral. Can her machine-gun mind, daring spirit and smart-ass mouth save the day?

Our Lady moves past Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf, Maria Callas, Balzac, Chopin and the grave of Jim Morrison in Père Lachaise cemetery to the Hemingway bust at the Ritz Hotel bar…

“Who is Gershwin anyway, and how come no one has heard of her before?”
Mozaic Book Publishers. A David Applefield Book.

GHOSTS OF SAINT-MICHEL: Author Jake Lamars New Novel. Paris Soirees Dinner Sunday 5 Nov At 18h30

RENDEZ VOUS AVEC PATRICIA

This Sunday 5 November At 18h30 Our Guest of Honor:

Jake Lamar, Author of "Ghosts of Saint-Michel"

Marva Dobbs has a life most people envy. An American who has lived in Paris for most of her adult life, she runs a popular soul food restaurant, and her thirty-nine year marriage has brought her a beautiful grown-up daughter. So why is she jeapordizing everything for a fling with her sous chef, a mysterious twenty-eight-year-old Algerian man named Hassan? Marva begins to ask herself the same question when she returns from vacation to find that Hassan is missing, and that he is the main suspect in the investigation into the bombing of a building in Paris that has left one man dead. Then Marva disappears, leaving her bewildered daughter and husband to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Once again, Jake Lamar delivers a riveting thriller rich with the romance, intrigue and international flavor of the City of Light.

Reviews:

Soul Food and Intrigue in the City of LightWho can resist a mystery novel that takes you to a different world and makes you feel familiar with the place even as you explore it?...With its evocation of Paris, characters so vivid that you care deeply about them (even while wishing a couple of them ill) and intrigue straight out of today's headlines, Ghosts of Saint-Michel makes for a tasty dish."

--Rosemary Herbert,Washington Post Bookworld, June 25, 2006 While hidden lives and secret agents abound, the novel is really about family and love and what it takes to hold both together. [Lamar's] unique storytelling makes for a lively read.

--Bob Meadows, People Magazine, June 26, 2006 Ghosts of Saint-Michel is a meaty read. Taking place on the eve of 9/11, this thriller ... not only serves up action and intrigue but a fair amount of history as well.

--Margo Hammond, St. Petersburg Times, July 09, 2006 About Jake:
Jake Lamar is the author of the memoir
Bourgeois Blues and five novels: The Last Integrationist (translated into French as Nous avions un rêve) Close to the Bone, If Six Were Nine (translated into French as Le Caméléon Noir) Rendezvous Eighteenth and most recently Ghosts of Saint-Michel. Born and raised in the Bronx, New York, he graduated from Harvard University and then spent six years writing for Time magazine. In 1993, he came to Paris intending to stay for a year; he now lives here full-time with his wife.

Meredith Mullins is an internationally exhibited photographer from Pacific Grove, California. With a background in television, film, and communications, Ms. Mullins has been a fine art photographer for 33 years. Her work is represented in several publications and is in private collections throughout North America and Europe.

Meredith has recently published a book of photographs and stories about Paris: In A Paris Moment.

Samples of Reviews:

“Far more intriguing than merely an art book or travel book, this collection of short essays, duotone photographs, and travel notes captures in images and words the essence of the world’s most romantic city.” Metro LA

"This is a wonderful book which seeks not the tourist sites, but those places and faces which illuminate the soul of this great city."Linda Walonen, Bay Books, San Ramon, California

Our Guest of Honor:

Jonathan Matsoukis And The American Indian Medicine Wheel

From Jonathan:

I first learned about the American Indian Medecine Wheel about 8 years ago and connected with it right away. It was and still is used by American Indians as a tool and guide to better understand the world and resolve personal or societal issues. Not many people know that the American Political System is actually inspired by the Medecine Wheel. What attracted me to this particular system was its sophistication and yet practical nature. It is both elegant in its design concept and rich in its content. I continue to find it a source of insight and inspiration.
Other than simply being a topic of interest, I intend to share some practical tools from this system that anyone can take home and try on. Please join us in this exploration of a system that so beautifully maps the journey of life.

I was born and raised in Paris and have lived between the US and France all of my life. I now reside in San Francisco, California which I see as a mother ship for new ideas and view points from around the world.

ON RUE TATIN: About French Cuisine. A New French Life. Susan Loomis. Chef. Author. Paris Soirees Dinner Sunday 24 September At 18h30

(This Sunday We Are In The Marais! See Address Below)

RENDEZ VOUS AVEC PATRICIA

This Sunday 24 September At 18h30

Our Guest of Honor:
Susan Herrmann Loomis, Chef and Author
On Rue Tatin

Susan Loomis arrived in Paris twenty years ago with little more than a student loan and the contents of a suitcase to sustain her. But what began then as an apprenticeship at La Varenne École de Cuisine evolved into a lifelong immersion in French cuisine and culture, culminating in permanent residency in 1994.

On Rue Tatin chronicles her journey to an ancient little street in Louviers, one of Normandy’s most picturesque towns. With lyrical prose and wry candor, Loomis recalls the miraculous restoration that she and her husband performed on the dilapidated convent they chose for their new residence. As its ochre and azure floor tiles emerged, challenges outside the dwelling mounted. From squatters to a surly priest next door, along with a close-knit community wary of outsiders, Loomis tackled the social challenges head-on, through persistent dialogue–and baking.

About On Rue Tatin:On Rue Tatin includes delicious recipes that evoke the essence of this region, such as Apple and Thyme Tart, Duck Breast with Cider, and Braised Chicken in White Wine and Mustard. Transporting readers to a world where tradition is cherished, On Rue Tatin provides a touching glimpse of the camaraderie, exquisite food, and simple pleasures of daily life in a truly glorious corner of Normandy.

About Susan:Susan Herrmann Loomis is the author of five previous books, including Farmhouse Cookbookand The Great American Seafood Cookbook. A regular contributor to publications such as the New York Times and Gourmet, she lives with her husband and their two children in Louviers, France, where she owns and operates On Rue Tatin, a cooking school.

Chicago Jazz Vocalist Claudia Hommel Sings from Her New Jazz Faure Project.Paris Soiree Sunday 10 Sept At 18h30

RENDEZ VOUS AVEC PATRICIAThis Sunday 10 September At 18h30
Our Guests of Honor:
Claudia Hommel Paris-born singer-actor Claudia Hommel returns from Chicago to our salon to introduce her latest project, the Jazz Faure Project.And what is the recipe for this cabaret confection of French impressionism and American jazz?
Take the art songs Gabriel Faure created for his friends to sing at salons of the 1880s and 1890s, bring in a second singer to enrich the dialogue, add a jazz combo of piano, bass, drums and saxophone, clarinet or flute, introduce the 20th century rhythms of swing, bossa nova, jazz waltz and voila! a 21st century way to celebrate these wonderful songs.Claudia and the Jazz Fauré Ensemble are in the midst of recording the first volume of their project, so she'll present a short video from a recent performance at the Green Lake Festival of Music (Wisconsin) and CD excerpts from the forthcoming album. You may even want to leave the evening sporting a Jazz Fauré Renoir t-shirt or tote bag to show your support.
Visit www.jazzfaure.com for a preview.
About Claudia:Claudia Hommel is a singer and actor specializing in French chansons and mélodies, in cabaret and concert, for schools, theatres, clubs, museums, and private events. At our salon, we may entice her to sing a few Parisian songs unaccompanied (or bring an acquaintance to play guitar or accordion for the occasion).Claudia also organizes CABARET INTOURLUDES and serves as guide for intimate groups from the States. Eight fans and friends are joining her this week and Claudia welcomes salon participants to join the itinerary around town. (In fact, she has room for one more person for an exclusive concert-croisière with singer Eric Vincent, Saturday evening the 9th –70 Euros for dinner, cruise and concert.)
