    About this ebook

    Writing the first-person account of Michael Cassidy, who becomes a Catholic school teacher in the aftermath of the tragic death of his boyfriend, Vee Hoffman balances beautifully lyrical prose with a sensual exploration of people and places. Ashebrook, its warm community and the house inherited from his aunt provide a comfortable haven for Michael, but it's the friendship with neighbouring Butler family and their son Dominic that proves most rewarding. Teacher, friend, soon confidant, Michael understands Dominic's secrets more than anyone in his sheltered Catholic community, but what else can he allow himself to hope for when love offers him a second chance?

    A story of love lost, love reborn, redemption and survival, Acclamation is, for the vast majority of readers, the first glimpse into Hoffman's ability to present unique and intense character studies. With powerful yet flawed characters, it is likely that readers will be soon clamouring for the next instalment.

    Vee Hoffman’s debut novel, Acclamation, is the first book in the Acclamation series published by Indie Inklings Ltd. The second, third and fourth titles, Reclamation, Intimation and Ultimation respectively, have an anticipated release date of winter, summer and fall of 2013.

    Vee Hoffman

    Vee Hoffman, thrift store fashion enthusiast and unapologetic crazy cat lady, has been creating fictional worlds since her teens. She has lovingly honed her unique style of character study over ten years of writing in the online community, learning (eagerly, and sometimes embarrassingly) from the school of slash fanfiction in the early Internet Age. Putting those lessons to work, she debuts with “Acclamation,” part one of a four part series, at age 31. A sometime music journalist, she indulges her critical side with the occasional vlog or guest article on Japanese pop music, hoping the day will come when someone actually asks for her opinion on AKB48. When not writing, Vee can usually be found browsing Tumblr at 3:00AM, getting emotional over posts about Doctor Who with red wine in hand.
