Alvin Curl

Alvin Curl is the author of EX’POSED: When the Truth Tells Lies, a fearless novel exploring family secrets, faith, identity, trauma, accountability, and the emotional cost of silence. Developed over more than fifteen years while Alvin worked full-time and cared for family, the book creates space for readers who have felt judged, misunderstood, or pressured to protect appearances over truth.

Byron’s life has been shaped by judgment, expectation, and truths too dangerous for his family to name. When the past demands to be confronted, he must choose between protecting the family that raised him and reclaiming the identity they taught him to hide. EX’POSED asks a difficult question: when truth finally arrives, who becomes the victim—and who becomes the villain?
