His first poetry collection, Made Beautiful by Use, was published by Winnipeg-based Signature Editions in 2007. Edited by poet John Barton, the collection was described as a "a striking and, yes, beautiful set of musings on belief, sex, and power."[1]

Horlor is also a freelance writing consultant specializing in marketing communications, editorial services and technical writing.
