Greenville, SC, Newspaper Reporter & Author Cindy Landrum to Sign Books at Fiction Addiction

Greenville, SC, August 19, 2015 - Greenville, South Carolina, newspaper reporter and author Cindy Landrum will be signing copies of her debut book, Legendary Locals of Greenville (Arcadia, paperback, $21.99), at her book signing at Fiction Addiction on Saturday, September 26th, from 1-3pm. This event is free and open to the public.

Greenville has long been a city of visionaries. Richard Pearis settled on the banks of the Reedy River in Cherokee hunting land where few white men would venture. Max Heller, who escaped Nazi-occupied Austria as a teen, triggered the rebirth of downtown. They are some of Greenville's local legends who have seen possibilities, not limitations. They come from all walks of life. Textile leaders such as John T. Woodside, Thomas Parker, and John D. Hollingsworth transformed the city into the "Textile Capital of the World." When textiles began to fade, businessmen and leaders such as Charles Daniel, Tommy Wyche, Tom Barton, Virginia Uldrick, Dick Riley, Carl Sobocinski, and Xanthene Norris helped transform the city once again. Stories of people who have helped shape Greenville with their vision, making it what it is today, fill these pages.

About the author:

Cindy Landrum's interest in Greenville's history comes honestly -- as a reporter for newspapers in Greenville since 1989, she has had a front-row seat to the latest chapters of the city's intriguing story.

 

Since 2004, Landrum has written about every aspect of life in Greenville as a staff writer for the Greenville Journal, a metropolitan community weekly. Prior to joining the Journal, she was a reporter for the daily paper, The Greenville News.

 

Landrum is also an award-winning photographer who specializes in photographing Greenville's scenes and the natural world in the Carolinas.
