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.”
Don’t Make Me Regret This
So I'm just going to say it. Out loud (or through a computer screen, whatever). This post is going to be long, tough, and uncomfortable. But the truth is, I've been hesitant to share certain things in the spirit of staying diplomatic. But Brene Brown offers a great...
Stuff & Things #4
>>When I wrote this book (4 years ago), I didn't know the town I live in now existed. It's only an hour away from Raleigh (where I lived at the time), but whatever. It's funny to me, because the fictional town where my novel is set is practically geographically where I live now....
These are my confessions….
Oh, Usher... It's Wednesday. And I have some confessions for you. Buckle up. 1. When my hair falls out in the shower, I stick it to the wall. I always intend to collect it at the end and throw it away. I almost never do. At least not until it scares me to death when I get in...
In A Box
Oh, hi! I'm not going to lie, I've been kind of killing myself behind the scenes lately. I mentioned last week that I've been waking up and diving straight into work at 6AM. I'm so thankful that I even have this opportunity to throw myself completely into my dreams (thanks, husband)....
Tips & Tricks!
I get asked a lot how I paint my nails so neatly. While I wish I could say I'm just good like that, that's not true. I shared one of my tricks before--you know, the pick it off in the shower method. It's a very technical thing. While I have had a lot of practice over the...

Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.

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.
