Kathy Porter was born and raised in Endicott, NY, the birthplace of IBM, just a few miles from where Rod Serling, the creator of one of her favorite TV series was raised. As an avid reader Kathy became obsessed with science fiction after reading Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles.
She received plenty of encouragement from her father, a science teacher who sparked her interest and imagination during backyard outings with the family telescope.
As the second to the oldest of seven children Kathy shared a room with her two sisters. During long winter nights Kathy polished her storytelling abilities with her original bedtime stories. To her mother’s dismay, Kathy considered her story a success if her sisters lay awake all night haunted by her eerie tale.
After majoring in fashion merchandising and modeling in college, she decided to fulfill her desire to travel to England and Europe, where she stayed and worked for four and a half years in the retail industry at one of London’s tourist hotbeds, Oxford Circus. Her daily exposure to several cultures influenced her writing.
Upon returning to the United States, her work eventually took her to Northern California where she met her soon to be husband. They moved to Southern California where she sold real estate until the birth of their daughter Odessa. As a stay-at-home mom, she wrote and told bedtime stories to her daughter. When Odessa attended kindergarten, Kathy took a job at the school district as a kindergarten physical education instructor.
The decision to become a published author came after a haunting early morning dream that formed the basis for the Gray Guardians series.
Earth’s Ultimate Conflict is the first of the Gray Guardians series of science fiction thrillers.
