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.”

Weekly roundup 6/12

Happy Friday, friends! Even though I had Monday off (it was my Birthday!), it's felt like an incredibly long week. Things were busy, the weather was crazy and I've had an annoying, lingering sinus headache for literally three days now. So to say that I'm already...

Get Me Out of Here

This week has been one of those that I haven't been able to keep track of what day it is.  And unfortunately, I've kept thinking it's a day later than it is.  There's nothing worse than leaving work on a Tuesday thinking it was Wednesday all day. I knew it would happen eventually--I'm...

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.
