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 tried my first vendor event as an indie author, here’s what I learned
*Disclaimer After the trip to Michigan, I got bitten with the events bug. More, please! I was going on that trip would reveal one of two things: either I'd hate it and never want to do it again or I'd be all in. Well, I'm all in. With that said, organized book events...
The law of attraction: You find what you look for
(For those of you who prefer to consume content by listening 🤗) At the risk of sounding dramatic, things in my life sort of fell apart earlier this year. That just happens sometimes. Life is fine and then suddenly it isn't. I'm a fairly optimistic person, generally so full of hope it can be...
A wakeup call about arbitrary standards
** I have had a few requests to provide audio for my blog posts. So if you'd rather consume this blog post via audio, here you go!** This is a silly little tale that I hope will serve as a powerful wakeup call about the stupid things we beat ourselves up over. As you all...

Social media: Break the addiction & develop a healthier relationship with social networking
I have a really complicated relationship with social media. I'd venture to guess you might, too. In fact, I know very few people who have a healthy relationship with it. I used to beat myself up over it. I hated how easy it was to get lost in the endless scroll--minutes then hours getting sucked...
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.
