Where the Night Feels Like a Novel
This is the beginning. The Left Field Literary Salon launches with this opening night party and continues as a monthly gathering for those who want more curated literary evenings.
Step into an evening designed for people who love books. The Left Field Literary Salon brings together book lovers, thinkers, and curious minds for a one-of-a-kind evening, part social gathering, part literary playground. A dark academia–inspired night of conversation, connection, and literary discovery, set inside the historic Denver Press Club. Wander through themed spaces, swap a favorite book, sip something thoughtfully crafted, and lose yourself in an atmosphere of fellow readers, writers, and curious minds.
Expect a lively, book-loving crowd. A curated book swap. Signature drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). Tarot readings, close-up card magic, and literary curiosities. Interactive experiences and surprises throughout. It’s relaxed, a little unexpected, and designed to feel like you’ve found your people.
Come solo or bring a friend, but plan to leave with more than you came with. Step inside the Salon and get your ticket before it sells out. Limited to 160 book lovers.
Ticket price includes admission and a donation to the Colorado ACLU and the Denver Press Club.
VIP tickets have SOLD OUT!
Please join us for an author talk and book signing event upstairs at the Press Club on Tuesday, July 21 at 7 p.m.

Rev. Dr. Nancy Niero has just published her first book, Witness at Sand Creek: The Life and Letters of Silas Soule, a collection of 25 letters written between 1860 and 1865. Soule was an abolitionist who worked for the Underground Railroad and a Union Army officer who refused to participate in the Sand Creek Massacre. Dr. Niero wrote an essay to accompany each of his letters. The book also includes a chapter on pilgrimages Niero took in 2024 to the places where Soule composed his letters.
Land Shadows is a historical fiction set in 19th-century Scotland, New York and New Mexico during the Maxwell Land Grant era.
R. J. Striegel, the author of Land Shadows, will be at the Press Club for a talk and book signing Aug. 6 from 7-9 p.m.
Striegel is a Citizen Potawatomi Nation author and educator based in New Mexico. His historical fiction is grounded in deep research and a drive to expose the lesser-known truths of the American West, stories often overshadowed by the myth of Manifest Destiny.
Striegel, who was raised in Albuquerque and Taos, later returned to New Mexico to teach pre-service Diné and Latina educators near the Navajo Nation. His debut novel, Land Shadows, was inspired by a personal journey to reconnect with his cultural heritage and a lifelong curiosity about land ownership, identity and historical justice.
The book has won or been nominated for the following awards:
