Solomon Turner PR Helping Launch New Book “SFC: A Poor Man’s Battle”
SFC: A Poor Man’s Battle takes you into the foxholes with John during his heroic war efforts, focuses on his often-turbulent relationship with Hedy, and reveals the shocking family secrets they left behind. The book is now available at Amazon.
Published and edited by Manuel Freedman, SFC: A Poor Man’s Battle, is based on letters and documents Frank and his siblings discovered when clearing out their parents’ estate after their deaths.
McElvain found a trove of vintage correspondence hidden in a magazine rack amongst his mother’s German newspapers. Included were love letters from his mother’s first fiancé—a World War II German soldier fighting on the eastern front, his father’s letters to his parents (intercepted by Hedy), letters revealing his father’s extramarital affair with a coworker, and more. Many of these personal matters were often rumored but never discussed in front of the McElvain children. The discoveries were made when Frank was 60, a lifetime in the dark.
“John and Hedy settled in Colorado and were married for 49 years. They were loving parents and grandparents, and didn’t discuss their pasts,” McElvain said. “But we discovered details of a marriage dad had before my mother. It was just one of many secrets underlying their relationship. They had their own personal battles and were not ones to shy away from conflict. I never truly knew my parents until I was 60 and they were both gone.”
To determine the thread that brought his parents together, McElvain spent years interviewing family members and friends in the U.S. and Germany, researching John’s military records, and combing through newly discovered photographs, dating as far back as 1925.
He spoke with relatives and a comrade in arms to ascertain details of John and Hedy’s first loves, and John’s year in South Vietnam, a period of which he rarely spoke. Frank also constructed a detailed timeline of John and Hedy’s youth and pinpointed accounts of how Hedy’s family and friends endured multiple Nazi labor camp incarcerations, being branded as communists, and barred from employment.
Each chapter is told through the eyes of John or Hedy and others involved in their lives. Though most details in the book are accurate, including several dozen family photos, McElvain said the work is one of historical fiction. In some instances, names have been created or changed to protect individuals still living, and events, such as the heavily detailed battle scenes, have been authentically dramatized to coincide with the narration of the story
.
SFC: A Poor Man’s Battle is much more than a family history. Readers will enjoy this common man’s tale of war, romance, marriage, deceit, and secrets, all hidden no more.

Author James Boudon’s New Book, “Calvary: The Eternity Eclipse,” Introduces Julia Percy, the Leader of Calvary, as She Fights to Escape Her Captors and Save Humanity
Author James Boudon began dabbling at writing short stories in the fourth grade and moved on to creating a comic book called “Rabbitman” during high school and a “Star Trek” novella during college. He has also written numerous poems and song lyrics. He currently works as a rural mail carrier for the US Postal Service and spends his spare time enjoying golf, hiking, and other outdoor activities when he is not writing. He lives in the beautiful hills and countryside of north central Pennsylvania in a rather remote area where the wildlife outnumbers the people.
Boudon writes, “Julia Kristina Percy sighed as a cool breeze from the oscillating floor fan wafted across her scantily clad sculpted physique. Simultaneously upon the memory-sphere player, Impala Quiff, ‘IQ,’ launched into a squealing high-octane guitar solo. Percy moaned contentedly and closed her eyes as the familiar rock ballad evoked a myriad of all-but-forgotten nostalgia. She was reclining on a lounge chair in the living space of her hotel suite. She had just returned from a vigorous workout in the resort’s large pool and was still clad solely in her olive-green bikini. Lead vocalist Nigel Jape resumed crooning the tune’s lyrics in his scintillating and dulcet tones.”
Published by Page Publishing, James Boudon’s memorable tale invites readers to discover whether Percy will be able to return to her home world ahead of the Bellerophon. Otherwise, all life on the planet will be incinerated, and humanity itself will be erased from existence within the universe.
Readers who wish to experience this engrossing work can purchase “Calvary: The Eternity Eclipse” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
