I'm Beth Wangler
I write stories of hope. Stories of questions. Stories that wrestle with what life looks like as a person of faith in a broken world. Good and bad aren’t always easy to distinguish, people are messy, and there’s a longing for better while living in the in-between.
Whether you like fantasy or romance, you’ll find stories that dig into what it means to be human: fearfully and wonderfully made, desperately broken, seeking the light while in the process of becoming.
Why Aspen & Orange Press?
Aspens are my favorite trees. Their brightest leaves come in seasons of transition, and their scarred trunks remind me that beauty isn't diminished by hardship; sometimes hardship enhances beauty.
Oranges remind me of my California roots and childhood afternoons under my grandparents' tree. They're sweetest after a freeze—a reminder that some of life's deepest joys are shaped by difficult seasons.
Together, these two trees capture the kinds of stories I hope to tell: stories of hope, faith, and love that grow in the in-between.
