Ed Hoornaert (Mr. Valentine)

Novels by Edward Hoornaert

Science fiction is my first love as a reader, but at heart I’m a romantic (I married my high school sweetheart and am still happily married) and it seems love and romance always creep in somewhere.

And because I view the cosmos with ironic eyes, humor always creeps in there, too. I can’t help it!

Science Fiction Romance:

• The Alien Contact for Idiots series
  • Alien Contact for Idiots — What’s a woman gonna do when she’s quarantined with an out-of-this world alien?
  • Alien Contact for Kid Sisters — Fleeing rebels, the queen’s sister finds a hero to save her … or is he kidnapping her?
  • Newborn — She was born to kill, not to love.
  • Rescuing Prince Charming — She’s no heroine. He’s no prince charming.

  • Alien Contact for a Christmas Nutcracker — The Nutcracker ballet, for and by aliens. What could possibly go wrong?

    They’re about to find out.

  • Constellation XXI (coming soon!) — Sienna’s unglamorous job is to guide incoming freighters to a safe docking at the space station. But when telepathic aliens with a startling secret seize her tugship, Sienna’s job is suddenly the most important in the entire galaxy.

Contemporary Romance

Written in the late 80’s and early 90’s, these books were my first forays into writing fiction. They were written under the pseudonym Judi Edwards:

• The Perfect Ten
• Step from a Dream
• Nobody’s Bride

Note:  Not included here are a couple of non-fiction programming books I wrote ages ago — because they aren’t novels, obviously.
