Jay Beck

Island in the Storm Jay Beck

This story of survival is set in Albany, Georgia, after the COVID 19 virus has come under control, and considers

the very real challenges faced by a society under great stress and the choices it must make to survive. Although the novel dramatizes the dynamics of handling a crisis, at its core, it is a love story of an unlikely couple thrown together from morally and socially divergent backgrounds in an apocalypse caused by catastrophic political failure.




Jay Beck is a marketing and communications veteran and political consultant. He worked in the Executive Office of the President under Jimmy Carter, and is a decorated Vietnam veteran with experience in finance, sports, government, as well as many political campaigns both domestic and international.
