Rosa De Angelo and Ellen McCarthy are about to become two of the newest victims of SEAS - Severe Environmental Allergy Syndrome. Haunted by dreams of orbs in the night, they wake up to news reports of UFO swarms and alien abductions by the thousands.
Separated from their families, Rosa and Ellen are ushered into isolation tent cities established to prevent the public from having any further exposure to the growing number of SEAS victims.
With the SEAS pandemic, coupled with increased seismic activity, and climate change threatening Earth, United States President Barbara Unger is searching for human salvation. She is contacted by two alien species, the Grays and the Guardians, both offering conflicting methods of action to save Earth.
The Grays offer to transport of up to one million humans to their planet, Nuur, mostly women of childbearing age as a safety measure to save humanity. The Guardians insist the Grays plan to use humans to create a dangerous hybrid species, that the diminished state of Earth is only temporary, and it will survive this crisis.
Knowing the Grays have manipulated us while the Guardians ulterior motives are unknown, President Barbara Unger will ultimately have to decide who is friend and who is foe. Will she place the fate of the human race into the hands of the Grays or Guardians?
Porter thrusts us right into the action. Ordinary people caught in a terrifying scenario must take extraordinary measures to save their children, themselves, and possibly Earth.

Fiction - Science Fiction
When a meteor crashes to earth near Roswell, New Mexico, in the summer of 1947, one boy's life is changed forever. Simon Cole, a 12-year-old Boy Scout, is on a rock-hunting expedition when the fireball screeches overhead and slams into the ground just beyond the horizon. Simon hikes with the rest of Troop 32 to the crash site the next morning, and together they make a shocking discovery.
What happens next, though, vanishes from Simon's memory. Only a pair of grainy black and white photographs-taken by Simon at the crash site-preserves the truth about a vast government cover-up that will claim the lives of many. The two photos, filed away as part of Project Genesis, survive decades of intrigue, all the while finding their way into the hands of Attorney General Bobby Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, and Marilyn's nosey, Bible-toting next-door neighbor, among others.
In the summer of 2011, Simon Cole, now a U.S. senator nearing retirement, has been researching 1947, what he calls "the lost year," in the hopes of finally discovering what happened. He receives help from a ragtag group of survivors, including Roger Smith, a mortician who was pronounced mad in 1947 for telling the truth and was locked away in an asylum; Number Four, a former government operative, now in his last days, hoping to absolve his guilty conscience; Carol Snow, an abductee who discovers a secret facility near Groom Lake, Nevada, and the time-manipulating "Hub" that powers it; and Andrew Jackson, a Vietnam vet willing to put his life on the line for humanity.
After Senator Cole's own secretary returns the photos to him, she helps close the loop. She also teaches him something about his quest. The past belongs squarely in the past. The future is what matters.

Fiction - Science Fiction
The United States Army has initiated a program using undead infantry drones to penetrate inaccessible terrain in the pursuit of drug cartels and terrorists. After a botched mission in Xcaret, Mexico that nearly gets Lieutenant Peter Birdsall killed, the program finds success in Tora Bora due to his younger brother, Carl, and his brain tumor that allows him to communicate telepathically with the drones. While the UN Security Council investigates whether or not the use of the undead violates the biological weapons stipulation of the Geneva Code, the drones are relegated to patrolling the Mexican border. Treated by his own government and the media as both hero and pariah, Carl has a run-in with the Order for International Liberation, an international terrorist group responsible for the death of his mother that has been following the drone technology closely. Conspiracies are uncovered, as the origin of the drone technology is revealed and a related, dangerous technology is exploited by the NSA to spy on the American populace. In the meantime, a new threat in the form of a vicious terrorist named Kafka surfaces, creating a dubious justification for the intrusive new technology. “‘Kafka Rising’ is a thriller with scary overtones…The plot proceeds to the end with twists and turns that will boggle the reader's brain…Great action and unexpected plot turns make ‘Kafka Rising’ a thriller for readers who like their action, their characters, and their storyline filled with drama and danger.” 5/5 stars, Alice DiNizo, Readers’ Favorite
