• Twenty years
• Six presidential elections
• Two brothers
• One consuming love affair
For Lucy Jones, the distinction between love and politics
is hazy at best. Both can be all-consuming, and either
can lead to a heart-breaking loss or an exhilarating win.
Whatever the case, if you’re seen as a loser, you
probably are one. Lucy first learns this lesson in 1988,
when she’s a shy girl, battling a high school bully and
rooting for Dukakis. Through the years Lucy will
experience stunning victories and agonizing defeats as
she makes the choices that define her. Meanwhile, she
also struggles to define her relationship with Monty,
who comes in and out of her life like the changes in
public opinion. Is Monty simply a one-night stand, a
kindred spirit, or the love of her life? And by 2008, can
he offer her a change to believe in?
Over the course of twenty years and six presidential
elections, Lucy grows and adjusts with the times. Filled
with snarky political and pop-culture references,
November Surprise is about the journey we take to
believe in a candidate, in love, and in ourselves.
November Surprise is a companion piece to Campaign
Promises, which is free on Amazon. They can be read in
either order. Both have a liberal slant.

"The story sucked me in and I fell in love
with Lucy's character, identifying with her
immensely. Lucy is witty, honest,
well-meaning, and adorably flawed.
Osterkamp's craft in writing description
and dialogue is outstanding. Also,
Osterkamp's gift of drawing in other pop
culture details really makes the novel
come alive."
