Mountain Folk Tales: Leslie Finn

A second-generation Boulderite and a resident of Gold Hill for over 40 years, Leslie Finn has a strong connection to Colorado. Her husband, Christopher, owns the Gold Hill Inn with his family, who bought the property in 1962.

Christopher serves as the chief of the Gold Hill Fire Department, for which Leslie has volunteered for the Gold Hill Fire Department for over 36 years, and she works as a cleaner for the inn’s Bluebird Lodge, which she considers her “little house.”

Leslie Finn has written since elementary school, and the history and beauty of Colorado informs her writing. In 2024, she published her novel Oh Them Days on Blue Hoss Mountain, the first novel in what quickly turned into a series.

Now, Finn has released the second book, When The Skies Wuz Fair and Blue, which develops the world and characters further. She is currently working on the third book in the series.

You can purchase the books at their official website.
