The Strange Mood

After twenty years I finally finished Shouter and Bat the first installment of the Shouter Trilogy.

All my family and friends were really excited for me and it was a great feeling to have all forty episodes up on Kindle Vella.

Yet in this time when I should have felt ecstatic there was a strange mood that came over me.

Not depression exactly but not joy either.

The strange mood is hard to describe it was just sort of like yeah good for you, but there are two more books to go!
