Hi, I'm Rachel Mendoza, author of The Girl Between Worlds and creator of Feàralune.

I'm a Texas-based fantasy author, mother of three, educator, and lifelong lover of the outdoors. When I'm not writing, you'll often find me exploring hiking trails, teaching children about the natural world, or dreaming about my next adventure.

My experiences in emergency services, education, and motherhood have shaped the stories I tell. I'm drawn to characters searching for connection, discovering their own strength, and finding a place where they truly belong.

My debut novel, The Girl Between Worlds, is a New Adult cozy fantasy romance filled with ancient magic, unexpected friendships, found family, and the quiet courage it takes to trust again.

Through my stories, I hope to create worlds that feel like somewhere you can escape to—and perhaps find a little piece of yourself along the way.
