The Station Master’s Wife is a fictionalized story woven from the history
of real people and events.
Sue DeMarinis bought an 1886 Victorian home in Ashland, Oregon in
1985. To celebrate its first century, she began researching the original
owners and historic events surrounding this house. More history
and scandals were exposed, recently with help from online archived
newspapers and ancestral trees. S. K. DeMarinis, a retired chiropractor
and budding author, lives with her teenage daughter in Ashland. This is
her second novel.
