The Campaign (Coming Soon)

What happens when toxic Chicago politics infects a sleepy suburb?

Caitlin O’Murphy and Michael Witkowski want to make LaValle a better place to live, but Tony the Big Cat and Garfield want to win.

As the two good-intentioned amateurs decide to run for mayor of their small town, the two manipulative Chicago campaign managers turn the suburban election into their little win-at-all-costs plaything.

Garfield takes Caitlin. Tony takes Michael.

May the best man win.

“The Campaign captures the mudslinging, in-fighting and general shenanigans in a small-town mayoral election when two Chicago campaign warhorses take an interest. Severson writes a compelling satire of all too familiar tricks and lies that are part of political campaigns, small-town or national stage.”

— Luisa Buehler, author, Grace Marsden Mystery series

“Although written as a farce, this campaign’s brimming with an underlying integrity you won’t want to miss!”

— Mim Eichmann, author, The Black Chickens

“(Severson) hits the nail on the head in so many ways in this satire on a mayoral election in a small town.”

— Pat Camalliere, author, Cora Tozzi series

“This novel offers insight into real political manipulation by the men behind the scenes in both a realistic and humorous way.”

— Lee Williams, author and former federal agent
