Reviews…
Review: Deception by Loretta Enright takes the reader on a journey through the healthcare system. It is a book that should be read by anyone that has questioned medical treatment of a loved one. It also has many unanswered questions to be solved for individuals who love a good mystery. As an 8th grade English teacher who has read many books, this story grabbed my attention. ~ Kim

5 Stars reviews from Midwest Book Review and the Online Book Club! Publishers Weekly Select will have theirs next month! Bring it on!
Blown away by the venue. Was at the North Branch Arts Fest before Thanksgiving, must’ve been 1000 people there. I sold out my stock of books in the first hour and then ran out of the flyers advertising it on Amazon. I was surprised by the response by those in the medical field. Anger. Not at me, but at the profession because in some cases, it appears deception is the name of the game! These last 6 months have been an adventure. Over summer I’ve been out at vendor shows, talked with many people. When you talk to someone, you hear more than words. You hear their heart and soul. Two people commented on how the story brought to mind their own memories about struggling with medical encounters for family members. One, in the profession, said he couldn’t read the book, won’t read it, too many painful memories in his own life. I thought I was just telling a story, but did I hit a nerve? There seems to be a lot of pain out there because the medical controllers aren’t seeing, hearing, understanding what we are telling them. That will be very apparent when More Deception hits the market next year. After all, we’re just dummy laymen, right? What do we know? Is it by chance, or their choice? And is that the real reason that the snaky medical caduceus is in the word Deception on the cover of the book? You can decide for yourself.
Being a Writer…
Being a writer is like living in The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe. You love it and you hate it, you can’t live with it and you can’t live without it.
“Take thy beak from out my heart, take thy form from off my door.
Quoth the Raven, “Nevermore.”
I’ve been writing since second grade because the reading books were bor-ing. In high school there were some novellas, including one about a girl rock band breaking out in the ‘60s. Maybe I will serialize that in these pages. I’ve got a BA in journalism, reported and edited my way through the years, and my alter ego does editorials on a blog. And then I came across a story that had to be told. It’s as simple as that. I wrote Deception. We all lie, don’t we? So how about writing about it, the lies people tell, husbands and wives, kids, doctors….
The book is good, now on Amazon; like who doesn’t want to read a story of a kid whose doctor is doing everything NOT to get him well. They’re out there, people like this. Stuff like this really happens; I know, because maybe parts of the story are true. Could it happen? Did it happen? Read it and see for yourself. — I write other things as you will see on the next pages, the Story Pages. I also take pictures. The picture below was taken in air and it shows the wind track of a blizzard in western Minnesota. The little dents are homes, notice no roads are visible. The photo is called
