And author website.

Hi, I´m Joey

It’s my hope that this website, which I founded in 2009, will become a regular source of inspiration, encouragement and comfort for you. We’re old friends here, and I’ve got stories to tell (and things to share). So grab a cuppa (or a glass) and stay a while.

While blogging is how I started my out-loud writing career, my debut novel, Yeah, maybe was released in 2014 and became an amazon bestseller. See more novels from me under “books.”

Coffee catch up!

Coffee catch up!

Well hello there! I've got my coffee cup and no agenda. It's just me and my thoughts today--who's ready for a little catch up? Apparently I'm a 90 year old because I hurt my hip. I've been hobbling around since Friday. How did I hurt it? Your guess is as good as mine....

Who I am…

Who I am…

Some confessions about who I am... 1. I am loyal.  So damn loyal that it's almost a flaw.  I can't help but try to hold up my end of the deal every time.  Where I see this being more of a flaw than anything else is in friendships that are transitioning/changing.  And while I...

Confessions…

I try to keep things pretty positive... but just like anyone else, I have a few things that just get under my skin. So here we go.  In the form of confessions: things that bug me... When a person you're having a text conversation with conveniently disappears (i.e. stops responding) after...

HI, I'M JOEY

 Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.

My only hope is that while you’re here, you feel a sense of belonging, comfort and empowerment. Because life is too short to live it worried you’re not good enough.

YOU SHOULD READ MY BOOKS

For the deep feeler, the over-thinker & the one who’s trying to figure out where they fit.

I write for the ones who feel like they’re too much and not enough all at the same time. For the ones navigating big questions about identity, self-worth, relationships, and those in-between life moments no one really prepares you for.

My stories offer a mix of comfort and catharsis—like a late-night journal entry or a favorite nostalgic playlist. If you love Taylor Swift lyrics, soft heartbreak, and hopeful endings, you just might find a piece of yourself in these pages.
