Madisonville sits on the banks of the Tchefuncte River, which intertwines with Lake Pontchartrain and enters into the Gulf of Mexico. Ridgley was employed in the automobile sales industry for twenty-five years. He retired from sales and is currently working part-time for a major automobile leasing company. His interest in writing began after his scuba diving accident happened to him; as a result, he wanted to share his story with others. He joined Long Ridge Writers Group and successfully completed the requisite course of study breaking into print—a professional program of instruction in writing articles and short stories for publication. He currently resides in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with his wife. He spends some of his free time golfing, fishing, traveling, and attending local sporting events.показать меньше
