Rita Kruger is a distinguished author from South Africa, renowned for her work in the genres of fantasy, horror, paranormal, thriller, and sci-fi. She is best known for her book series, Angela's Epistles, which has helped her establish a significant presence in the contemporary literary world. Kruger was born in the small town of Welkom and currently resides in Vereeniging. She is a devoted mother, loyal wife, loving daughter, and a happy granddaughter and grandmother. As a child, Kruger was deeply immersed in the pages of her favorite books, often finding the stories and characters to be more exciting than her own reality.
Kruger's childhood was largely spent within the covers of books, as stories carried her away to new and exciting worlds. The people and places she encountered in literature were far more compelling than her own mundane existence. Now, as an adult, Kruger surrounds herself with things that enrich her body, mind, and soul, including family, friends, nature, good food, and fine wine. She is particularly drawn to mountains of books, which she draws inspiration from to write her novels. Kruger's work often explores major themes of her life, with a particular focus on fantasy and gothic horror, two genres that she loves deeply.
