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.”
Why adults should read young adult novels
When I was sixteen, I penned a promise to myself in my journal. I'll never forget what it feels like to be a teenager. This promise was the product of feeling misunderstood and dismissed by the adults in my life. I don't blame the adults. You see, there's this thing...
The Struggle…
If we're confessing things here, I really don't have any rules when it comes to food. I eat what I want when I want it. Because of our lifestyle, we mostly eat in. But sometimes I go on these kicks where I want all the fast food. Like I admitted on Monday, Saturday...
Babies and Puppies and Football…Oh, My!

Stuff & Things 8/21
As I sit down to write this, my heart is so full and I am totally on cloud nine. Life, you guys? It's pretty cool. So let's get into some stuff & things, shall we? ++Tuesday was the date-iversary for that husband of mine and me. Since it's football season, I figured I'd...
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.
