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.”
The comparison game: in life, in fitness, and in business.
A few years ago, I thought it would be fun to learn how to run. The training for me was all about enjoying the process, nothing else. I just wanted to see if I could do it. And once I started to get it, I couldn’t stop. I’d learned a new skill, and I couldn’t get...
Book Part 1: How It All Started…
I've decided to make the book thing into sort of a series. To sit here and just tell you how I did it is only half the story. It's not as simple as just following things step by step. At least it wasn't for me. So sit back, get comfortable. Here we go. For as long as I can remember,...

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.
