Shirley Tallman’s writing career spans two distinct phases. Her early work in the 1980s produced nine romance novels, from Time for Tomorrow (1983) through Carnival Madness (1987), published under the conventions of that era’s romance market.
Her second act began with the Sarah Woolson mysteries, five historical crime novels set in 1880s San Francisco. Published between 2004 and 2012, the Woolson series followed one of the city’s first female lawyers through cases that drew on the color and danger of Gold Rush-era San Francisco.
