He always felt, while he taught, that there was a lack of interesting, educational and moving young adult fiction, especially books that highlighted a female protagonist. He decided to do something about it by creating The Shamra Chronicles. In 2009 Curse of the Shamra: Book One of the Shamra Chronicles (Gauntlet Press) was published to critical acclaim, followed by Shamra Divided in 2010, and Chaos Unleashed (coming 2011). Hoffman's writings have appeared in numerous magazines and anthologies. He is the author of seven novels and short story collections, and his work has been praised by Publishers Weekly, Booklist, Fantasy & Science Fiction, among others. Most recently he has given away over 10,000 copies of Curse of the Shamra to schools and other educational institutions nationwide in an effort to advance literacy among the underprivileged.
