Hello and welcome to my new website, Bert the Bat and the world Beyond the Veil

If you’re here, you like stories with atmosphere — not twee sugar — but the kind that sit right between cosy and unsettling. That’s exactly what I write.

To show you what I mean, I’m giving you Arthur Pendry’s Secret Journal — plus the first chapter of Bert the Bat — plus two ghost stories.

This is not a random giveaway.

Arthur’s Journal is the real entry point into the Veilway world.
It’s a found-object notebook with AR overlays — ghosts appearing on the page, footprints, hidden details — and it previews the emotional core of the series better than any blurb or pitch ever could.

Your bundle includes:

• Arthur’s Secret Journal (PDF — AR enhanced)

• Bert the Bat — Chapter One — the opening of a five-book Veilway fantasy arc

• Two original ghost stories — gothic, atmospheric, psychological

These four pieces — together — form your true starting gate.

Same world. Same myth. Same mystery.
Just seen from different angles and different centuries.

About the Project

Bert the Bat is Book One of The Veilway Chronicles — a five-book middle-grade fantasy series about ghosts, forgotten legends, fairies, memory, and the unseen world behind ordinary England.

I am aming to launch book one in 2026.

In the meantime — I’ll share:

• new artwork

• behind-the-scenes development

• exclusive preview pages

• more ghosts, myths, and oddities

And the journal you receive today is the first artefact of the world you’re stepping into.

Join below, you’ll get instant access.

With very best wishes,
Vincent
