Skinless (Book 1)

Maggie Moor Charmay New York Noir SkinlessSkinless is psychological crime noir set in 1999–2001 New York City. In the Lower East Side, Charmay isn’t just a singer—she’s an “orphan misfit survivor” navigating a dangerous triangle of sex, drugs, and power. She creates a glittering alter ego to survive the trauma she calls “skinless” until the masks collide in a fever dream.
A visceral, first‑person descent into the grit of turn‑of‑the‑millennium New York.

Book 2/ Coming

In 2001, the line between performance and survival is razor-thin. For Charmay—now under a new monicker—acting isn’t a career; it’s a cover for a PI sting that spirals into a voyeuristic nightmare.
