About the Book: In the tradition of Legends & Lattes , comes a cozy fantasy steeped in sapphic romance about one of the Queen's private guards and a powerful mage who want to open a bookshop and live happily ever after...if only the world would let them. All Reyna and Kianthe want is to open a bookshop that serves tea. Worn wooden floors, plants on every table, firelight drifting between the rafters... all complemented by love and good company. Thing is, Reyna works as one of the Queen's private guards, and Kianthe is the most powerful mage in existence. Leaving their lives isn't so easy. But after an assassin takes Reyna hostage, she decides she's thoroughly done risking her life for a self-centered queen. Meanwhile, Kianthe has been waiting for a chance to flee responsibility-all the better that her girlfriend is on board. Together, they settle in Tawney, a town nestled in the icy tundra near dragon country, and open the shop of their dreams. What follows is a cozy tale of mishaps, mysteries, and a murderous queen throwing the realm's biggest temper tantrum. In a story brimming with hurt/comfort and quiet fireside conversations, these two women will discover just what they mean to each other... and the world.

The Alex Sjobeck Quintet will be featuring award-winning Seattle-based saxophonist and composer Steve Treseler. Filling out the band, is notable Mountain West musicians: Derek Ganong - Trumpet Alex Sjobeck - Piano Braun Khan - Bass Brian Claxton - Drums The show will be opened by Boise State University's Gene Harris All Stars trio and combo. These combos are audition-only ensembles of talented high school jazz students from around the valley. Steve Treseler is an award-winning Seattle-based saxophonist, composer, and innovative leader in teaching improvised music. Hailed as a "firebrand of the tenor saxophone” (Earshot Jazz), DownBeat describes his music as “beautifully crafted...whether free, through-composed, or somewhere in between.” Steve performs and leads improvisation workshops throughout North America and Europe, and has performed at Birdland, Blue Note Hawaii, and live on NPR’s Jazz Night in America. Treseler’s bold and collaborative approach to improvised music began to take shape during his early adolescence immersed in the hypnotic rhythm of Seattle’s grunge scene, and high school years fascinated with the spontaneity and virtuosity of classic jazz records. Treseler’s musical voice crystallized during his studies at New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, where he was exposed to an eclectic range of improvised music and the mentorship of jazz legends Jerry Bergonzi, Bob Brookmeyer, and George Garzone. Today, Treseler is embedded in the jazz and creative music scene in the Pacific Northwest, performing with the Jim Knapp Orchestra, Johnaye Kendrick, Jay Thomas, and as a leader in his own notable groups. Treseler’s six recording projects as a leader include collaborations with the lauded trumpeter Ingrid Jensen: Center Song, which reached #53 on the JazzWeek Radio Charts, and Invisible Sounds: For Kenny Wheeler on Whirlwind Recordings, which was named one of DownBeat's best albums of 2019 and praised by the New York Times as "lyrical and songlike, whether moving at a quick clip or drifting as slowly as cloud cover. . .a standout album." His latest album, The Grind with In Motion Quartet, will be released in the fall of 2024. Embracing eclectic sounds beyond jazz, Treseler collaborates with songwriters Damien Jurado and Lacey Bown, layering woodwind textures to their poignant storytelling. He explores experimental sounds with Scrambler Soundpainting Ensemble, a multidisciplinary artist collective, and Radiant Fields, a solo project for saxophone and electronic effects. As a teaching artist, Treseler is the founder of Infinite Improvisation, offering community-centered workshops and retreats that draw from improv theater games, conducted improvisation, and the aural tradition of jazz. Seattle JazzED calls his workshops, “revolutionary. . . Steve is an expert at teaching improvisation in a fun, encouraging way.” Steve has led workshops and artist residencies throughout the U.S. and Europe, including at Berklee College of Music, Hawaii’s Pacific Music Institute, Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, and in the Austrian Alps with Più Piano. Steve is the author of two instructional books, the Amazon Bestseller Creativity Triggers for Musicians (2017) and The Living Jazz Tradition: A Creative Guide to Improvisation and Harmony (CMA Press, 2014), which are used in music schools worldwide. Treseler graduated with a distinction in performance from New England Conservatory and was named “Outstanding Jazz Soloist” in the DownBeat Student Music Awards. He holds a Master of Music in Jazz Studies and Improvised Music from the University of Washington where he was a teaching assistant for Cuong Vu. Treseler is a Conn Selmer performing artist.
