Book Club with Bruce Cook Featuring Born in OC Rescheduled for April 10

04.04.25

The Balboa Island Museum in Newport Beach is hosting its first-ever Book Club event, now rescheduled for Wednesday, April 10, at 5:30 p.m. Emmy Award-nominated writer and producer Bruce Cook will moderate the evening and lead a conversation with me about my new book, Born in OC: The Artists, Entrepreneurs, and Visionaries of Orange County, California.

Light refreshments will be served. Tickets are $20 for museum members and $25 for non-members. RSVP by calling 949-675-3952.

Born in OC goes beyond Orange County’s reputation for surf and reality TV to shine a light on the creativity, innovation and diversity that define this community. The book celebrates the real people—artists, entrepreneurs, visionaries—who are making a difference not only in Orange County, but throughout Southern California and around the world.

Born in OC is available now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and through booksellers nationwide.

Balboa Island Museum is located at 210 Marine Ave. in Newport Beach.
