Join me on Thursday, January 9 at 6 PM at the Costa Mesa Donald Dungan Library for a special book signing and conversation! I’ll be sharing stories about Born in OC: The Artists, Entrepreneurs, and Visionaries of Orange County, California, my latest book highlighting the incredible people shaping our community.
It’s been an amazing journey covering Orange County’s lifestyle and culture for over 30 years, and I’m excited to meet you, sign books, and talk about the inspiring stories that make Born in OC so special. Fun fact—the book cover was designed by my son, Matthew Lobdell!
Here’s what you need to know:
