Loz Feliz Confidential: A Memoir
01.02.18
Mixed media artist, actress and author Nora Novak, a longtime resident of Newport Beach just released her latest book, Loz Feliz Confidential: A Memoir that’s available on Amazon and at Lido Village Books in the Lido Marina Village in Newport Beach.
Her last novel, Art Damaged is glossy insider's tale that is set behind the scenes of the contemporary art world in Orange County. Now, Los Feliz Confidential is a wild ride that chronicles Novak’s life from immigration, poignant childhood, rebellious teen years and her adventurous, sexy, free-wheeling twenties. “From Europe to Hollywood I blazed through the ‘60s and ‘70s with a passion for art, music, fashion and high times fueled by a heady dose of glamour and decadence, it seemed like the party would never end,” said Novak.
You can purchase her book on Amazon and at Lido Village Books at 3424 Via Oporto #102, Newport Beach. 949.673.2549.
