Author Anne Britting Oleson discusses the Aventurine Morrow series

BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - Anne Britting Oleson is the author of The Aventurine Morrow series. She joined WABI to discuss the fourth book in the series “Aventurine at Sea.”

Summary:

“Popular author Aventurine Morrow is working on a biography of Genevieve Smithson, a veteran of the SOE—Britain’s network of operatives in occupied France during WWII—and travels to York, England, to interview the aging survivor.

“Complicating matters, however, is Aventurine’s nephew, Paul, who has accompanied her to the U.K. in an attempt to work through the grief of losing his father at sea. As the two travel together, hints of Aventurine’s past begin to darken their steps, until long-hidden family secrets are brought out into the open through the interference of her former lover—secrets that threaten to destroy everything Aventurine holds dear."

Oleson lives and writes from a small town in Central Maine. She’s spent her professional life as a high school English teacher with the past 36 years Central High in East Corinth.

She says she will be returning to the United Kingdom this summer to do more research. Oleson says the fifth book in the series, “Aventurine on the Grand Union,” takes place in Little Venice, a residential district in London, on the Grand Union Canal. As part of the research, she has rented a narrowboat in Little Venice, to live on for a week.
