THE PAINTED SISTERS is a series of four books set in the late Victorian era. It follows a group of women who have been exquisitely tattooed to be living art for a powerful and wealthy group knoiwn as THE COLLECTORS.
The Collectors are the richest and most influential people in the world while remaining largely unseen by the public eye. They live outside the rules of government, country, and law; comprising of some of the most brilliant, eccentric and questionable men in the industrialized world.
Painted Sisters are very expensive, not only to buy but to keep. To have a Painted Sister is one of the keys to entry into the world of the Collectors. They get you through the front door and into the lobby. But many men find they stay in the lobby for the rest of their lives; some of these men banked on the financial gains their association with the world of the Collector would give, and find themselves overinvested in their purchase of a Painted Sister…they have now found a way to ‘cash out’.
An outlawed sect has resurrected, a sect that values the Painted Sisters’ beautifully tattooed skin more than the woman who inhabits it. A handful of unfortunate Painted Sisters, heeding whispered warnings flee from their Collectors.
Each book in the Painted Sisters Series deals with one of the sisters and their journey to escape their disenchanted Collector, to avoid capture and certain death, and in the process find love.
For those of you who enjoy a Victorian Thriller I have a sister duology, called INK, which details the crimes and is the hunt for the killer. It is written under E. D. Holland. You can find the link to that website in the Menu.

I have been a fan Arthur Conan Doyle as well as Agatha Christy. Painted Trust reminded me of those two authors and their stories with an erotic twist which pleased me very much. I am looking forward to more painted sister stories. I
particularly want to see what develops between Inspector Morrison and Master Brody. Romance I hope.
