Hi there! Welcome to the secret life of Claire Ridgewood. I’m an accountant/bookkeeper by day, and writer of fiction stories by night. I spend my weekends as an armchair traveler experiencing cultures through foreign language learning. This is my website and I’m glad you’re here.
This site is where you will find my stories, books, musings on everything from writing to my language learning journey. It truly is my Secret Life.
This is where you’ll be able to read The Bergmans, a beautifully dysfunctional family; Karma, do no harm, and more short stories from the bin. When I started out on my journey to be a writer, I had no idea of what I liked to write so I dabbled a bit until I discovered that I like to write thrillers, and mysteries with a thread of romance. My goal in 2025 is to finally write a novella or two.
Guess what? I have a blog, yup, I have a blog and ain’t afraid to use it, ha! Come back to my blog for excerpts, short stories, and my language learning tips.
You’re welcome to subscribe to my newsletter where I’m sharing my language learning journey by clicking “Newsletter” on the Menu bar. You’re also welcome to follow me on Instagram here and connect with me at Bluesky social here. More to come.
Claire💋
