Maggie Moor
Music, Story, & Healing
From jazz‑blues recordings with legends like Dave Sanborn, Richie Cannata, and Kenny Rampton to her debut psychological crime novel SKINLESS: THE STORY OF A FEMALE SURVIVOR—called “a must‑read” and “undeniably powerful”—Maggie Moor’s work blends vulnerability, grit, and art into a unifying vision.
Skinless: The Story of a Female Survivor
Skinless is a raw, first‑person psychological crime noir told with the intimacy of memoir, written by Maggie Moor—singer‑songwriter and licensed psychoanalytic healer.
Charmay, a young singer‑songwriter in New York City’s underworld, creates a glittering alter ego, Cindy, to navigate addiction, violence, and the brutal cost of surviving what should have broken her.
IndieReader calls Skinless “a must‑read… a story about rebuilding selfhood after it has been systematically stripped away.”
“Most of the book’s sentences vacillate between beauty and despair… Skinless is an eloquent crime novel about a woman’s relentless desire to survive.” — Benjamin Welton, Foreword Reviews
“Skinless strips away pretense and sacrifices comfort for vulnerability… a portrait of survival that doesn’t sanitize the mess… a raw, unforgettable journey.” — BookLife
