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.”

Finding Hope in the Darkness
For I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future. Jerimiah 29:11 Months ago, I was in a scary dark place. Life has a way of just kind of throwing everything imaginable at you until you're face down in a pillow wishing you could just...

Spring has finally sprung here in Charlotte which means lots of pollen, sunshine, and an overwhelming sense of awakening. Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they spend the first few weeks of spring shedding layers both literally and figuratively? Spring tends to shine a new light on...

Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.

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.
