Bridget Krone
I live in Hilton, South Africa with my husband and our two grown sons who come home for occasional holidays. Our house is on the edge of a farm and a nature reserve and I can see cows on the hill as well as the Drakensberg mountains from my stoep.
I was an English teacher for a few years and then started writing English text books for South African schools. I still write readers, study guides, teacher guides and text books and I’ve also compiled poetry and short story anthologies.
