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.”
Catching Up: Kindness of Friends, Pinch Me Moments, & Publishing
Good morning, friends. I've missed you guys. So I've got my cup of coffee, and I'm going to pretend we're finally catching up over a long overdue coffee date. Ready? Ready... If you follow me on social media, then you know I've been dealing with a wicked case of...
Stuff & Things #1
I messed up. I'm the one who basically bullied Kristin into making this a link up--and then I went on some kind of blog hiatus and totally forgot all about it. Either way, I'm here now. But about that blogging hiatus thing? I blame revisions. And the fact that it's my...
I don’t do this often.
Attachements by Rainbow Rowell. I don't often gush over books. I try to keep myself contained. I am also extremely guilty of what my sister calls reading like a writer instead of just reading for fun. A lot of times, that ruins books for me. She'll come running to me...
Ignoring the life boat.
It's like I was sent a life boat and I turned it away because I was waiting for a miracle. The life boat was the miracle. I am afraid to go on road trips because I'm afraid of breaking down. In the back of my head, I am angry that we aren't in a position to just buy a new car. So I can go and see...
I’m coffee deprived. So this post has no title.
**FYI: the post I did on Monday (Stuff & Things) will become a link up on Thursday of next week with the darling Kristin! Be sure to join in on the fun!** Somehow, I managed to give myself and my husband food poisoning on Tuesday night. Now, J has a stomach of steel so it didn't...
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.
