Aargh, me hearties, and welcome to the internet home of Horatio Hornblower fan fiction, written by both myself and other fans of C.S. Forester's naval hero!
This site is dedicated to the fan fiction based on A&E's version of "Horatio Hornblower". Anyone interested in reading my work should know up front that my favorite character is not Horatio, but rather his flawed, tortured, and stone good-lookin' pal Archie Kennedy. As anyone who knows me can tell you, I'm a sucker for the hero's best friend!
Feedback is always welcome, and I invite all of those interested in reading or writing Horatio Hornblower fan fiction to join the Horatio Hornblower fan fiction mailing list. This is a 13-and-up list, nothing explicit, and all are welcome to join.
Now on with the tales, laddies, argh argh argh....
RED SKY AT MORNING
This fan fiction has been written in collaboration
with the Duchess' Daughter, aka Carolyn.
Following the disastrous mission at Muzillac, Horatio longs for peace and release from the guilt that plagues his soul. Instead he is drawn into a nightmare of ambition and intrigue when Archie is accused of murdering an officer from another ship, the H.M.S. Courageous. To win his freedom Horatio must thwart the Courageous' powerful captain, and discover the darkest secrets of Archie's past. But Archie's soul will not be freed easily, and Horatio discovers that the price of his freedom is very high indeed...

NOT FOR HONOUR ALONE by PJ
October, 1812 - A year of indescribable bloodshed
in Spain is drawing to a close. The great British victories at
Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajoz and Salamanca have all come to naught.
Without an adequate source of supply Wellington,s army is forced
to retreat back into Portugal for the winter. It is a time of
difficult marching, hard skirmishing, and frayed tempers.
When a fatal accident brings on a court martial and threatens
the life of one of his most trusted men, Colonel Lord Henry Edrington
stakes his own honour to prove the man's innocence. Only one man
can help Edrington, and he would much prefer to hinder him: Captain
Richard Sharpe.
