A book trailer for “Lexie’s Gift” by John R. Stoeffler is now available

Author Reputation Press is delighted to announce the release of the book trailer for “Lexie’s Gift” by John R. Stoeffler.

John R. Stoeffler attended Pennsylvania Military College and graduated in 1963 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army, Stoeffler spent one year of his two-year active duty in Korea. After active duty, he went to work for General Electric and worked on projects in his community, creating “Kids Who Care,” a program that led children to collect toys, food, and clothing for those in need. After decades as a salesman, he retired in 2003 and moved to St. Petersburg, Florida, in 2016.

In 1996, Stoeffler married the former Linda Diane Lord of Linwood, New Jersey. They have two children, Susan and Laura. They have four grandchildren: Halley, Kylie, Kanon, and Lexie.

“Lexie’s Gift” by John R. Stoeffler is the story of a little girl, Lexie, whose best friend’s father is in the Army and is so called to active duty. Susan, the friend, is so sad that her dad will miss her birthday and Christmas and won’t be there to hug, kiss, and tuck her in at bedtime. Lexie wishes she could do something to comfort Susan while her father is away.

With a little assistance, Lexie crafts Susan the ideal gift—a pillow featuring her father’s picture. Susan is overjoyed, and the girls have decided to make additional image pillows for children like her. Through this, they have discovered that giving is more enjoyable than receiving.

This story is based on a project started in 2008 by the author and his wife. In all, they and their volunteers made and shipped free what they called “Sweet Dreams Pillows” to over 13,000 children of deployed members of the U.S. Armed Forces.

A Hollywood movie script coverage was also released for the book’s qualification for a Hollywood movie adaptation. This service aims to provide a screenplay that will be stored in a database that major studios and moviemakers can consult when looking for stories to adapt into films. The screenplay is the common ground on which producers, directors, actors, and production teams working on the movie will collaborate from start to finish and serves as a roadmap for them in terms of what will be seen on the big screen. The production of the movie script coverage is to prepare for the screenplay to be produced.
