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.”
I think you can.
Can I tell you something? Until very recently, I thought I was stupid. I don't say that to be dramatic; I actually believed it. I just thought okay, well, people get dealt a hand in life, and mine just didn't have anything special in it. That's okay, I'll just be the...
The Time I Saw A Ghost
I had this boyfriend in high school. Looking back on it now, he was just a very small part of my HS career and my overall life, but for whatever reason my teenage brain had his memory stored in The Big Things. The relationship was brief. And in the end, he pretty much broke me....

Just Joey being Joey
Gradient nails? Yeah, no. Turns out I don't have the patience it takes. I've made my peace with it, whatever. I'm fine. I was so eager to just be done with it--I thought slappin' on some glitter would help. Because glitter fixes everything. Nope. Not everything. But because I always share...

HI, I'M JOEY
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.
