Author Bio
 
Jolande Wijks (1962) was born in Suriname, a country in South America but lived for more than twenty years in Curaçao, the former Netherlands Antilles, an island in the Caribbean. She lives in Florida now and is the author of the exciting racy Dutch novel, “Verleiding tot Misleiding,” which means “Temptation to Deceive.”
 
She started her nursing career in 1983 and has gained a lot of experience as a registered nurse and specialized as a dialysis nurse in 2004. During her work as a dialysis nurse, she met so many dialysis patients with different medical backgrounds. Each one of their stories was unique. This led to the creation of her second book, “Me…Dialysis…NO WAY!”
 
Now it’s time for the third book “Me? Dialysis…? NO WAY. NO not ME!” an extension of her second book. A book with some short but profound real-life stories about people who got the surprise of their life, when they got the news from their doctor that they need dialysis urgently to stay alive. With these stories, she hopes to bring more awareness of the importance of cherishing our overall health, help prevent kidney disease, and the need for dialysis, in case possible.
