Gerry Wilson’s third book—STORM WARNING, a collection of linked stories—releases October 6, 2026.

In the eleven stories that comprise STORM WARNING, the characters inhabiting the fictional world of Yemassee Island, off the coast of Georgia, are as bruised by the events of their lives as the island setting is battered and altered by storms and tides. A wide array of human experience informs these stories: birth and death, youth and aging, innocence and guilt, safety and risk, relationship and isolation. Most of all, these characters navigate the treacherous waters of love and loss. A young woman resists her gift of second sight. A boy comes of age through a crusty old lighthouse keeper’s tough love. A nearly disastrous dolphin-sighting cruise may—or may not—save a marriage. Members of a beach wedding party are awash in relationships gone awry. A mid-life pastor seeks renewal in a shiny motorcycle. A mother embraces the ghost of her son lost in a hurricane. Like an island landscape after a storm, these characters are forever changed, but they persist and survive.

“In prose by turns lyrical and spare, Storm Warning offers an evocative portrait of a rugged place and the people who endure even the most unforgiving twists of fate.”

—Cynthia Reeves, author of The Last Whaler and Falling Through the New World

“Wilson’s collection accomplishes something quite extraordinary: it creates a rich, dramatic world that is novelistic in scope, while building this world one remarkable story at a time.”   

  —Scott Gould, author of Beneath a Fallen Sky (coming September 2026) and Peace Like a River
