-Five stars: this book moved me to the point that I have undertaken a study of it and feel new joy and wonder each time I pick it up to read again.

-Four stars: damn, this was a good book that made me think. I'll go back to it again sometime.

-Two stars: I wanted to like this more than I did. Won't re-read.

Just found "Windfall" on Reddit and am blown away! I am a grad student a la Grimm but not as hot by far and loved the inside view of Academe, Classical Linguistics - is that your field??? - and the hot, sexy, colleague who is the Key to unlocking everything! Is there a series brewing, please say 'yes'! OY~ Please be looking into narration of your story, have a Patreon, anything so that I can show my appreciation!!

I'm also working toward a Patreon as well, and will post it on my Goodreads page once it's up and running. Thanks so much for reading ^_^(less)

Hello! I've just finished Windfall, and I really enjoyed it! It was such a great, engaging, character driven novel. I loved how all the beauty, angst and pivotal moments were in the nuances. I adored the characters, and I'm really interested in learning more about their pasts! Will there be a sequel? And if so, when is it coming out? I can't wait to read more about Key and Grimm! :)

Charles Prose Ellis Hi Nadia, sorry to be getting to your question so late (my notifications were off).

I do have a sequel planned, but it's hard to estimate when it will be complete. I hope you won't have to wait too long though! Thanks so much for reading :)(less)
