In addition to being an author and having his books published in print, Hosker has another creative outlet. He likes to write musicals. Along with another author, he was able to write several musicals. These include the impressive Shakespeare The Musical as well as one called The Journey. This was put on in 2000 at the location of the Millennium Dome.

This author has other hobbies that he likes to pursue as well. He has an interest in history, and as part of that he goes out and visits various castles and finds historical novels to enjoy. Many of his own books are set in historical times as well, with the first nine that he wrote taking place in the first century (A.D.) in England and its northern area.

Once he stopped teaching, he set up his own firm that specialized in consultancy. He worked for colleges and schools in England as an adviser. However, things were changing and in 2010 a financial crash meant that he would have to stop working in that field as it was not as lucrative as it had been previously. He had more time to work with and did not like not having all of this free time to spend. He used the opportunity to look more into historical events such as Britain’s invasion by the Romans and the resulting information and interest that he had in the subject ended up helping him to write the novel The Sword of Cartimandua, which sparked a series.

Chasseur A Cheval is the first book in the Napoleonic Horseman series by author Griff Hosker. In this first story, readers get to meet the main character of Robbie Macgregor.

Here is a man that can be seen as a traitor to many. That was the case with the people that he spent time growing up with, to random French people that did not know him very well. He estimates that he was probably seen as a traitor even to English people that he actually fought for. He recounts that when it comes to his relatives of Scottish descent, it would vary depending on the person that you were asking at the time.

Robbie says that he cannot personally take the fall or the blame for these circumstances. Especially since all that had happened occurred out of sheer random fortune, an accident of where and how he was born into the world. He was the product of his parents meeting, but that was a circumstance that was not destined to provide him with a happy childhood.

He was a bastard child born as the result of a pairing between a Scottish servant and a French aristocrat. He did not find himself growing up with his parents and a family. As his father did not want him or the burden of having a bastard child and all the shame and societal attention that would bring, it was as though he never had parents at all.

Robbie grew up and did not have money, or such things as status or power. The vast majority of people don’t like him, and he has to make a quick decision if he wants to keep his freedom and not get caught up by the guillotine. So he signs up for the military. It’s actually one of the best choices that he could have made, since his entry into the French Army affords him a unique chance.

Through the army and this new life, Robbie gets to redefine his life. He becomes a Chasseur a Cheval. Through a variety of heroic feats that take place on the action-packed battlefield of the moment, Robbie is part of a fleet capture and Malta’s conquest. Along the way he is noticed by Napoleon Bonaparte, a younger general in the army who is steadily gaining power.

Full of action and adventure, this book moves quickly through a fictional viewpoint of history as imagined by Hosker. This is when the revolution was still in its earlier days and Napoleon was on his way up the ranks.
