About Books&Moods
Stories with a soundtrack.
Books&Moods brings original fiction and original music into one reading experience — so the atmosphere can continue between the lines.
The idea
Read first. Listen when it adds something.
Books&Moods was created for readers who want more atmosphere without losing the quiet concentration of a page. Every story stands on its own. The music is optional — a companion built to deepen the scene, emotion or pace when the moment calls for it.
The result is a simple loop: discover a title, read Chapter 1 free, choose a Mood, save your place and return whenever you are ready.
Read the story. Feel the mood.

The creative work
Writing, music and the space between them
Books&Moods publishes original fiction and pairs it with Reading Moods by Dav Strains. Some stories are written under the author name shown on the title itself; the music is released under Dav Strains.
New titles and Moods are added over time. The catalogue is intentionally curated rather than endless: the aim is to make every published piece feel considered, finished and worth returning to.
For readers
Built around the reading experience
Reading progress, bookmarks, chapter navigation, adjustable reader settings and persistent Mood playback are designed to make moving through a title feel natural across sessions.
