Helloooooooo!
::Swims to the surface. Takes gasping breath::
Oh, gosh, guys! It’s been a WHIRLWIND of a few weeks. I can’t even wrap my head around everything.
Remember last week when I said the book was coming out this week? Just bare with me a little here. I don’t want to send something out into the universe until it’s ready ready. It’ll be soon. Soon! Things just have to line up.
A lot of you have asked where, when what, etc. So I’m going to try to answer some of your questions today!
- The book will be released on Amazon. It will be available on any kindle device or kindle app. It may eventually be released in paperback, but I have some decisions to make about all of that, so for now it will just be on Amazon.
- I will release the title once we’ve 100% nailed down the cover art. We are damn close.
- Because it will be released digitally, I will not be hosting any signings (for now). If the book is released in paperback, I’ll keep you all posted if this changes!
Your support, you guys? I can’t even begin to explain to you how all of this makes me feel. I felt this kind of support last year when I was sick–but having support for something fun and exciting and life changing trumps that, for sure!
It was ridiculously fun to have my author photos taken! (Author photos!? WHAT!? ha!) It was absolutely storming (which my darling sister lovingly pointed out that any time I have my picture professionally taken, it’s awful weather. Looking at you, bridal portraits and wedding day). My sister followed us around the house with a lamp (my nieces and nephews were getting such a kick out of it) trying to find the best lighting & make do with the circumstances.
One of my beautiful bridesmaids welcomed me into her salon so she could hook a girl up! My hair desperately needed some help!
What else? Oh! I had a lovely visit with my very pregnant bestie! We got her all set up for when the baby comes (lots of organizing, list making and assembling)! She’s preeetttttty much all set! I was able to sneak in work here and there (mostly when the momma-to-be napped), and also just got to spend some much needed time with people I love.
I got vaccinated yesterday for whooping cough because the second my little niece decides to make her appearance, I’ll be heading south to help the new momma and daddy!
Oh, funny story about that! I’d gone over to Walgreens earlier in the day yesterday to snag the shot, but they were swamped. They asked me to come in later. So after my author photos (in the middle of awful storms), I ran out the door, dog and stuff in tow. I was going to run by Walgreens for the shot before I headed home.
I’m sitting in the little waiting area. I’d been there about 10 minutes when I hear flip flop flip flop. I know the sound well. I looked up to find my mom approaching.
“What are you doing here?”
“There was a huge crack of thunder when you left, so I followed you! I’ve been sitting out in the parking lot next to your car so I could keep an eye on Bailey.”
She grabbed my keys and went and sat in the car with the dog while I got my shot. The couple waiting next to me giggled.
“How old are you?” they asked.
If there was any question, Bailey is definitely one of the grandkids! haha!
I think that might be it for today! I know I’ve been so in and out lately. Things are in overdrive over here–and I promise to keep you totally posted with all things book related!
Love you all so much!!
I spy myself on one of your IG photo comments! 🙂 Love you so much Joey, SO proud of you! I cannot wait to read your book and spread the love!
I just LOVE that photo of you getting your AUTHOR photo taken, amazing. I can't wait to read and support you girl!
So excited for all the fun things you've got going on! Love that your mom thinks of the dog when it storms and follows to make sure he's okay!

Congratulations on all the exciting things happening! And that is too cute about the dogs. My mom got herself one of those stickers that says something like my grandkids have fur, haha.

So sweet that your mom went up to Walgreens to keep an eye on the dog during the storm! Your photo looks amazing! I am so excited for you and is it weird I totally think you could do a book signing without a psychical book?

Ahhhhh! This is exciting! I can't even handle it.
EEEEEKKKKKK. I can't even wait to get my grubby paws on said book! I would like my Kindle edition novel to have an autograph from you. I don't know how it'll happen and I don't care…figure it out, Author 🙂 Love you, gush! So proud of you!
