From spectacular mountain views and hiking trails to kayaking, trail rides, antique shopping and artisans, the town is a goldmine to people of all ages and interests.

The Spencer family and the lodge’s wealthy clientele have supported and funded many of the town’s endeavors, such as the hospital, schools, and the historical society. The generosity of the Aspen Gold Lodge clients has also stimulated opportunities in the area.

Although, incidents of danger, envy and greed occasionally taint the community the people grow, share goals and vision, and keep love, respect, and humility alive. These are the core attributes of this lively population. Through the generations, citizens have left to pursue careers and relationships, but many find their way back to their roots. To Spencer, where family is important, friends become family, and love is everything.

Aspen Gold Authors Social Media

Once upon a time a group of writer friends–helping a member with a particularly difficult thread in a continuity series contrived by her editors–got the grandiose idea to create a continuity series of their own.
Yes, this was us, and we threw ourselves wholeheartedly into developing characters, fashioning families, family dynamics, and a setting, which evolved from one member’s love of all things Colorado. We created family trees, character profiles, detailed maps, brainstormed titles and themes. We collected photos and researched and even started the stories. We proposed our idea to a few publishers and got no traction. So, after a time the contracted books came first, two members dropped out of the group, a couple new ones came and went. But the core group remained.
In a tragic turn of events we lost a beloved friend and co-writer. Grief took the remaining wind from our sails. We recovered slowly, welcomed a new friend to our critique group. Then came a day when we got together and said, “We’re going to get serious and do this!” Energy built, and the series took on new life. A previous co-creator joined us again. Now, here we are, years after the initial idea, sharing the finished stories with you and hoping you will feel the same intensity and appreciation for this project as we do.
We have many more stories to share, and the ideas keep coming. Look for more books to follow in Aspen Gold: The Series.
