I didn’t set out to write about shame. I set out to write a woman who thought she had none left.
Open Exposure is my longest story so far—22,000 words of ritual collapse. It starts with a coffee stain. It ends with an auction.
This isn’t a fantasy. It’s an unmasking. This isn’t a story about sex. It’s a story about surrender—about what happens when your audience doesn’t blink, and neither do you.
No romance. No redemption. Just a slow undoing, told in sixteen acts. If you’ve ever flinched at the idea of being fully seen, choose this if you must. Not because it’s safe—but because it isn’t.
