#MondayBlogs #SneakPeek: "The Illustrated Guide to Limbo City"

If you follow me on Facebook, you may recall a request for illustrator submissions I sent out a few weeks back regarding The Illustrated Guide to Limbo City. I received some really beautiful portfolios in my inbox, including one from Christi Wells, an adult coloring book artist I've known for a couple years, ever since she won some signed books and a silicone Han Solo baking mold from one of my online giveaways. (I don't write Star Wars books. I just had an extra mold since I got overexcited and accidentally ordered 2. I mean, who wouldn't want their very own edible Han Solo in carbonite?)

Christi and I have great rapport, and we quickly went over the project details and agreed that it was something we could do together. The Illustrated Guide to Limbo City is now underway, and it's coming together like magic! The release is still a few months out, but I just have to share some of this awesome with you guys. Here's a little peek of what's in store...

(The front cover, council welcome letter, and back cover.)
(2-page spread of Lana with the hellhounds, and the table of contents.)

I love Christi's style! The hounds are my favorite, and I can't wait to see how she envisions the helljack puppies. ♥ If you'd like to check out more of Christi's work (while patiently awaiting the release of the guide) you can find her online via FACEBOOK & INSTAGRAM

Happy Release Day & #BookReview of "Burned by Magic" by @jasmine_writes

Author Jasmine Walt's debut novel Burned by Magic is out today! Woot! I was lucky enough to receive an advanced reading copy, and let me tell you, I am really excited about this new series.

In the magical city of Solantha, being a hybrid is risky business--especially if you're half mage. Then it can mean your death. Sunaya Baine, a half-jaguar, half-mage hybrid, has been hiding her true nature most of her life, but when a magical mishap puts her at the mercy of the Chief Mage, Sunaya's world is turned inside out. Her investigation of a string of related silver poisoning murders is put on hold while she's held captive at the Chief Mage's castle until he decides her fate.

This was a fun, fast read! The world-building was well done, the characters diverse, and the action top notch--as well as the sexual tension. Sunaya is a snarky badass, with her many weapons, her steambike, and her fiery attitude--what's not to love? Her interaction with the two very different worlds--the human/shifter real world and the mysterious world of the dangerous upper-crust mages--will pull readers into the heart of Sunaya's struggle and make them realize that nothing is ever as black and white as it appears from one side of the fence.

If you're into snarky heroines, murder mysteries, kickass fight scenes, wild new worlds, and a dash of romance--Sunaya is your girl!


About Jasmine Walt...

I'm a devourer of books, chocolate, and all things martial arts. Somehow, those three things melded together in my head and transformed into a desire to write. Usually fantastical stuff, with a healthy dose of action and romance. My characters are a little (okay, a lot) on the snarky side, and they swear, but they mean well. Even the villains sometimes.

When I'm not working on my next book... well, honestly there's not much else I do aside from writing because I ghostwrite as my day job. But when I'm not chained to my keyboard you can find me working on my dao sword form, spending time with my family, or binge-watching superhero shows on Netflix.
