Texas Politics: Grand Prairie Style is put together in Three Parts. Part One looks at the historical backdrop of Texas Politics, as discussed in the UTA Texas History textbook. Author Warren Landrum's wife Carol actually took that course using this textbook during the first few weeks of the year, leading up to the time he filed to run for City Council. It was not by accident that she took this class at that time. The Landrums knew that Warren ...

As the author, my purpose for this book is to share with the reader my reflections and memories and those of others who went to the same high school-East Chicago Washington High, in East Chicago, Indiana. This book does not attempt to be a documentary of the era (1960s-1980s) that it covers. There WERE other things going on in East Chicago at that time, as there were in all cities-things in the areas of politics, crime, drugs, and such, but th...

This book came about as the result of a little motivational phrase I came up with to continually encourage my granddaughter, Mia. I wanted her to always do the best she could in everything she did, so on August 11th, I grabbed a sheet of notebook paper, and as carefully, as I could, I wrote the words, "Mia, Be Your Best You" - Papa. My intent was to get a frame, which I did, and put the frame on her desk, where she would constantly be reminded...

He got all that he hoped for and much more than he had dreamed of, as an unexpected visitor decided to come along and share his travels with him... a visitor named Corona.This book is dedicated to...

I decided to write this book, because Singapore is not on the radar when people in the United States talk about must-see travel destinations, and it should be! Singapore is a very modern cosmopolitan city, with a Financial District rivaling Wall Street, and more importantly, it is a culturally diverse city where the influence of Malaysia, India, and China blends with the modern influences to create a City-State of unparalleled charms. Addition...

After all of the positive feedback and responses that we received from the readers of "Nine Days in Italy, " this book HAD to happen. According to Warren Landrum, "Our Readers literally implored me to capture the experiences and adventures that they knew my wife, Carol, and I would have in Paris, and bring them to life within these pages, so that they could, once again, journey to Europe with us. Some of them had been the same parts of Italy t...

What we will attempt to do in this book is to tell you the story of our trip. Hopefully, if I do my job, it will be told in such a way that you will be crying with us as we are going through our first Near-Death experience up in the mountains in Tuscany, and you will feel some of the same jaw-dropping, OMG emotions that we had when we got our first glimpse of The Sistine Chapel in Rome or Michelangelo's David in the Galleria dell' Accademia in...
