Ashley Lauren (Ingebrigtson) is the founder of Wanderlust Publishing in addition to being an author. She has loved books and writing since the day she was born, and she loves curling up with a cute romance or an epic romantasy. Ashley has a Bachelor's degree in English with an Emphasis on Creative Writing from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, and in her free time, you will probably find her traveling around the world, hanging over a rock face, or drinking an iced chai latte. She currently resides in Wisconsin with her partner and their German Shepherd Assistant, Winston. Her debut novel, OUR SUMMER, came out September 2nd, 2025.

Haley Renee is a twenty-nine-year-old contemporary romance author who lives in Southeast Ohio with her beloved Tortie cat, Leia. She prides herself on writing stories that tackle challenging topics and conversations that work to break the stigma. She loves to weave emotionally charged romance with themes of mental health, addiction, identity, and healing, as well as many other things. She is also extremely passionate about where she is from, the foothills of Appalachia. When she isn't writing, you can find her at Donkey Coffee getting a vanilla chai, at Paycor Stadium cheering on her beloved Cincinnati Bengals, sitting in her office with a guitar in her hands and too many Spotify playlists on her computer, or (weather permitting) outside exploring the incredible state and national parks. Her contemporary romance, THE ART OF FALLING OUT OF TUNE, will be published by Wanderlust late 2026.
