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.”
The Year that was Meant to Be Mine
I trust God. When it all boils down at the end of a hard day, a rough week, or a tough year, I trust God. 2015 ended with me enthusiastically shouting to anyone who would listen 2016 IS GOING TO BE MY YEAR! I was so convinced of it, it had to be! 2015 was a hard year....
George Update (family post)
Hi guys. I'll go ahead and say, this is a post mostly so I can update my family on the condition of our cat. I have a lot of family who live all over the place, so instead of telling the story 100 times, I'm just going to post it here. Please feel free to skip right over...
Things.
Remember when I admitted that I sit in the bathroom sink while applying my makeup? When I went to climb down on Wednesday, I fell off. I've only been doing it for like, 15 years--I guess it was bound to happen sometime. I caught myself with my right butt cheek....

Evil Next Door
photo I remember this case. This book digs deep inside the murder of Stephanie Bennett: a 23 year old Raleigh resident back in 2002. I know the apartments she lived in. I know the lake and trail that surround her apartment. I spent a lot of time there as a kid. I remember...
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.
