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.”

Does It Feel The Same?

Does It Feel The Same?

For some strange reason I was digging through my drafts in blogger.  FYI: there are a lot.  And I happened across this one.  And every hair on my arms stood up.  This was written on April 5th.  At that time, I was knee deep in revisions, and I still wasn't sure how all of...

**Saturday night, I ended up on the couch.  That. Should. Never. Happen.  Why?  Oh, well the hubs snores.  That's nothing new.  But normally when I awake to the wood sawing snoring, I kick him gently nudge him and he rolls over & stops.  Well Saturday...

Try It Tuesday!

I don't think that's actually a thing, but it worked for this post! Like anyone else, I spend entirely too much time sitting at my desk.  It never really bothered me before, but now that I'm paying a little more attention to my physical activity--I decided to ditch my old, uncomfortable desk...

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.
