Explore the Literary World of Rex A Horne
Some kids dream about the stars. Rex A. Horne built a way to reach them.
He was six years old, on a farm in rural South Carolina, when he made his first telescope from a cardboard tube and a couple of discarded lenses. By eleven, he was cooking up homemade rocket fuel from whatever the farm could spare and sending model rockets screaming into the sky. The neighbors were certain he would blow himself up. Rex was certain he was just getting started.
Then he found books, and the universe cracked wide open. Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter of Mars series lit a fire in him that has never gone out. On clear nights, young Rex would stand in the dark fields with his arms flung wide toward the red planet, waiting to be swept away to Barsoom.
Mars never came for him, so Rex went out and built the future himself. Armed with degrees in Electronic Engineering and Business Management, he rose to become President of a private electronics manufacturing company, creating technology that powers aerospace, telecommunications, and military missions. For decades he worked at the edge of what’s possible, and his imagination never stopped running ahead.
Now he takes readers to places only he has seen. His stories reach across time and space, but at their heart they are about people. Rex believes humanity carries its courage and its flaws wherever it goes, whether that’s a dusty farm road or a distant world. That is why his adventures feel so real.
“An idea forms and I begin to write,” Rex says. “I am but a reporter recording the story as it unfolds.” His characters often surprise him as much as they surprise his readers.
Rex shares his life with his wife, their son and daughter, and three grandsons who keep him looking toward the future. The boy with the cardboard telescope is still reaching for the stars, and this time he’s taking you with him.
