My name is Michael Verley and I'm the author of an epic adult fantasy series known as "the Legacy Project." Writing has always been my dream, and I strive to create prose that will not only stimulate the mind, but other parts of the body as well!

I have three sets of stories I would like to share with the community of Lush Stories: The aforementioned "Legacy Project" as well as "The Life and Times and Women of Marcus Veovin" and "A Stranger in Paradise." While "the Legacy Project" is a typical fantasy series, the stories following Marcus Veovin are tales that can be read in any order or even stand alone as a single story. They are all actually interconnected like a puzzle and fit together to tell an even larger story...while at the same time, being part of something legendary that no one will see coming...And as for the stories about the stranger, well, those are something else as well...

I take my writing very seriously and have a plan for some very "big picture" type of work with my Legacy Project, so if anyone reading any of my writings has questions, comments, concerns, suggestions, criticisms, or anything of the like, please feel free to message me any time! This may sound bold, but I would be willing to pit my fantasy series against a juggernaut such as George RR Martin if he'd openly accept the challenge! Ha!

If you love fantasy the way I always have, I think I'll have something really fascinating in store for you! Again, I appreciate everyone who takes the time to take a look at my work and hope my writings transport you out of reality and to a place where you can revel in enjoyment...even if it's only for a few hours at a time!

I'm a sucker for cat pictures, so if you use one for your profile pic, chances are I'll have to click on your profile!

SPECIAL NOTE FROM AUTHOR: I do not believe in spoiling writing, whether it be my own or someone else's. However, I also believe in the "hero's journey" when it comes to writing, so I want everyone out there to know this: There will be pitfalls along the way and we may lose some of our heroes along the path we take, but in the end, everything will work out! The world is not always kind to us, but in the end, it will have all been worth it! In other words, don't always bank on a happy ending for each part because the world's not always flowers and unicorns!

ONE OTHER QUICK NOTE: I don't think there's any question about it that the most beautiful and glorious creation in the world is the female of the human species, so when I go to great details about women in what I write, well...there you go!

NOTE TO MY READERS: I truly enjoy feedback whether it be positive or negative, but if it is indeed negative, please point out why you feel so! I feel that the best way to improve as an author is to learn from mistakes, so I'd like to know what people think of my work since I've wanted to make writing my full time occupation for three decades! Also, I'm not the biggest advocate of social media, but I do have an FB page - obviously as Michael Verley - that I'm more than happy to speak with anyone through, and my released books can be found here if there's any interest: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5NDGBP1?binding=kindle_edition&ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tukn If you like art with what you read, I'll be posting whatever I can since I upgraded my membership, and I appreciate all of those who check any of my work out, whether it's one of my complete novels or a short story or even just a picture! I feel that I bring a lot of variety to the table, so hopefully anyone who's looking will find something enjoyable! Have a great day!
