DeMarinis, Susan K.: - S.K. DeMarinis bought a Victorian home in Ashland, Oregon in 1985. To celebrate its first century, Sue began to research the original owners and the historic events during the time her house was first built in 1886. More details than expected were exposed when archived newspapers and census records revealed scandals that followed the home's first woman resident from the 1880s-1920s. Sue herself was a woman pioneer, as the first female chiropractor in Southern Oregon. Retiring after 30 years of practice, Sue took her love of history and research and found a new calling. "The Station Master's Wife", her second book, is a historical fiction novel woven from her suspicions and interpretations of the history of some very real people, place and events that shaped the West.
