About the Author

One of a Kind is Eldon McKelvie’s first novel. Mr. McKelvie’s life-long obsession with his father’s heroics during the battle for Iwo Jima, the bloodiest, most costly victory in Marine Corp history, finally resulted in this epic novel about love and war, loyalty and sacrifice. Born in Berkeley, California, in 1953, Mr. McKelvie studied Film History and English at Fresno State College. He constantly and consistently hones his craft by writing many short stories and essays on a wide range of subjects.
