Other books for children include Babushka, Nobody, Him and Me, Dandelion Wish and The Mud Maid.

Horn was a lecturer in psychology, and co-wrote Loss and Bereavement (with Sheila Payne and Marilyn Relf: 1999, Open University Press, ISBN 9780335201068) and Pain: Theory, Research and Intervention (with Marcus Munafo: 1997, McGraw Hill, ISBN 9780335196883). She took early retirement in order to spend time writing and publishing.

Horn was developing a Sitcom called The Sweete Sisters. A pilot episode received a rehearsed reading directed by Hugh Allison. Her works The Moon Thieves, Tattybogle and Babushka have been arranged as musicals for performance by infant school children.

She founded the publishing house Clucket Press, along with her husband Niall.
