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.”

Where I’ve Been

So you might have noticed I disappeared there for a minute. A month, actually. I'm sorry I didn't say anything, but it was 100% intentional. You see, at the start of March I was on the fast track to a breakdown. I was so busy trying to be everything to everyone--a...

Confession: I wear…

Did you know that I wear glasses? No? Oh, well it's my little secret then. It's not that I meant to keep it a secret.  I really only have to wear eyeglasses while driving and watching TV. A lot of times that actually means that I'm squinting and giving myself a headache until the husband...

I would find the stories there.

I would find the stories there.

If I wasn't here, I'd be there.  In another life. I would have packed up only exactly what I needed.  My computer and my dreams.  And maybe a pair of gloves.  I hear it gets pretty cold there. I would have been scared and dirt poor.  I would have begged the man who owned...

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.
