ⓘ About Shirley Tallman

Shirley Tallman is an America author that writes historical fiction novels. Tallman is best known for the Sarah Woolson mysteries series. She wouldn’t be tied down by society’s expectations of her gender. And rather than settling down and keeping a home, Woolson struck out, securing an interview with a prestigious law firm, having determined to beat the odds. It is worth mentioning that the Sarah Woolson series did not mark the author’s entry into the publishing arena. Back in the 1980s, Shirley Tallman wrote a series of romance novels under the ‘Erin Ross’ pen name.
