And author website.

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.”

A Dose of Life

So I've been keeping a bit of a secret. I'm a closet hobbyist photographer. I take photos for Charlotte area bloggers and everyday couples in love. The inspiration? Well, Jonathan and I have been married for seven years. And in those seven years, we've had very few...

We are approaching the one year anniversary of the day my husband packed his bags, and I watched him pull out of the driveway towards a life I couldn't imagine at the time I'd ever want. It was that day that I spent the evening curled into the fetal position crying so hard I didn't think I'd ever...

1. This is a horrible pic and in bad lighting no less.  For that I do apologize.  But I'm just seconds away from running out the door and didn't want to miss a nail files!  I kept things simple for today.  Fingerpaints pincurls and pouts with nina ultra pro holographic topcoat...

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.
