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 Unbecoming

We collect years.  We survive days.  Information filtered in, regurgitated, forgotten.  Influenced, then set free. And along the way, we think we're one step closer to finding ourselves.  Knowing ourselves.  Understanding ourselves.  We grasp at any definition, hoping to wear it like a shield...

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.
