About the author

My name is Zane Michaelson and I am a best-selling, multi-genre author with over fifty titles released.

I was born and raised in the North West of England but moved away to study Law at University, before returning and meeting the woman of my dreams.

Now I live in Spain with my beautiful wife, four wonderful children, who are the lights of my life, and a host of animals.

It has been four years since my debut release, and I still have so much to say.

With more books planned, including further co-writes with my wife Jenna Michaelson and fellow author, Kaylee Rose, I'm excited for what the future brings.

Reviews

[Camille · Rating 3 out of 5]

Third in a trilogy. The whole story gets wrapped up in this short book. I didn't like this one as much as the first two, even though it contained the fruits of their resolution. I like to see the relationship repair occurring in real time but it happened mostly off-page, which was unsatisfying for my angst-tapeworm. I wasn't all that convinced that our H wouldn't stray again, at least with Chad, the H's catnip.

BIG spoiler coming, so avert your gaze if you want this to remain a surprise
Fairly big trigger stuff here: m/m rape on page, which results in an STI test, which seems to be one of the primary catalysts for the H to repair his marriage.

I was happy some of the players got an HEA, even though it was definitely tinged with sorrow (that's another spoiler that I won't reveal), but I would have loved more details about H and h reconnecting. I'm not sure why she trusted him again.

"To move forward, I had to forgive and forget the past, not in half measures, or when it suited me, but totally."

Till Death Us Do Part is the final installment in Zane's story. Yes, all of it is true. Every book in the series, every word, every page - torn from Zane's own life, from the words of he, Jenna and Chad, and from their very hearts and souls. The reasons Zane decided to bare this part of his life to all of us is finally told, and it's a reason I didn't expect.

Every low, every high, and every moment in between is shared with us. The sorrow, heartbreak, resolve, and the overwhelming amount of love, moves you to the point of tears - both happy and sad. I'm not going to give away anything here. No spoilers. No hints or suggestions. Just know that after reading this book, this series, you will be changed. You will look at life, and those close to you in a whole new light.

This story reminds us that life is full of choices. Some choices aren't easy. Some are wrong and some are right. But, at the end of the day, love can conquer all. Zane is blessed to have such amazing people in his life.

I absolutely adored this series and again raise a pint to Zane for the bravery it took to write it.

This is the final part of Zane's Story..
And what a ending this was.

I went through a rollercoaster of emotions while reading this I have found this review so hard to write as I don't have the words to do this book justice. Even though this book made me cry I really loved it and the way it was written
made all the difference.
Zane's writing is so good that you feel like you are there going through the pain, sorrow and heartbreak that he, Jenna and Chad felt, as you read this soul bearing story. You read how low and bad it got for Zane and how Jenna & Chad both going through their own heartbreaking feelings stood by him, together their love for Zane helped Zane back.

I had to stop reading at one stage, tears falling, but as I turned off my kindle I realised I needed to finish, I couldn't leave it untold.
The end of this book was not what I expected Zane's story to end like. Its when you find out the real reason for Zane bearing his soul and telling his story.

This is a very emotional real life story which had me crying and made me realise we should never judge anyone's life and choices they make till you know the whole story...

Thank you for being so brave to write this Zane and allowing us to read a life changing part of your life. It's been a rollercoaster of a ride and it will stay with me forever..... So the story as been told.

Till Death Us Do Part - This is the final book in Zane Michaelson’s trilogy. I can honestly say I have never had a book affect me like this one has. Zane has a way of drawing us in to what is happening and making us feel like we are part of what is going on. I don’t want to give too much away, but I will say that this book made me laugh, but it also made me cry. I wanted to help Chad defend Zane. I wanted to help Jenna take care of and protect him. And I wanted to hug Jenna for being so freakin’ amazing to help keep the friendship alive between Zane and Chad. I want what Zane and Jenna have and it is definitely worth fighting for!
Please read this whole series, it is amazing! I can’t wait for what Zane writes next!

[Jax Reid · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don't know what to say really I'm feeling all these different emotions after reading the conclusion to Zane's story heartbroken at parts of the story I'm not giving anything away you will just have to read it. amazement at how strong honest and compassionate Jenna is. How increadable Zane has stood up and told this very personal story. I hope that you and your family go from strength to strength. Your story has been a rollercoaster of emotions and I'm so glad I was privileged to have read it. I look forward to reading more from you in the future.

We've come to conclusion of this deeply touching and personal account of a
time in Zane's life. Oh boy, and what a story it is! I'm struggling for the right adjectives to describe all of my emotions while reading "Till Death Do Us Part", only one comes to mind and that word is, amazing. From his encounters with Chad and Zane's love for his family, but most of all Jenna. Jenna is the person we all strive to be, she is amazing! I can't wait for whatever else Zane has for us to read, I am most definitely a fan!

[Erin McCracken · Rating 5 out of 5]

The third and final book in this series brought a emotionally beautiful end to this trilogy. I loved every moment of these books. Zane Michaelson is a brilliant writer with just the right amount of naughty, mixed with reality. I would definitely recommend this book.

[Jess · Rating 5 out of 5]

You think you know the way this story ends but you can throw that right out the window! This book is amazing and my heart is still racing, I'm trying to wrap my mind around everything that's happened. Such a great book!

[Melanie Bindloss-Prince · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have been very lucky to have been able to read the final part of this amazing series and want to start by thanking Zane for an amazingly written book yet again and for sharing this true story with us

I started the final part not knowing how it was going to end for Zane, Jenna and Chad or why Zane had decided to share his story and after reading the 1st 2 books I could wait to find out, well without giving too much away it was definitely worth the wait and not at all what I was expecting, you see a different side of Zane which some people may not like but I find it brave how honest he has written the events that took place the good and bad, you see Jenna standing up for herself and fighting for her family showing what an amazingly strong women she is and you find out if Zane and Chads friendship survives

This book will make you feel angry, frustrated, happy but you will also need a box of tissues at the ready, all your questions will be answered in this final chapter of the series, I've loved this series from Zane and can not wait to read other books in the future, please don't make us wait to long

[Debra Sykes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great Read

An emotional rollercoaster. You feel the pain and hurt in every word as the main character sinks to rock bottom and has to find his way back again. However, the end is what leaves your heart battered. A definite must read.

[Serena · Rating 5 out of 5]

Zane knows what happened broke everything he had, but he knew had to face up to what he did. Knowing how much everyone was hurt because of his actions he hits the lowest point in his life he has ever felt, and, felt his marriage could never be repaired.
Thinking he can stop the pain from what he did, Zane does things that make him think about his children and what they would do without him. The realisation that what had happened didn’t just affect him, what they did affected five people. Zane knows he loves Jenna and his children and can only hope that after everything they can be the family they were before. Amazing ending although one I didn’t see coming.

[Joy Boutwell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Till Death Us Do Part is the conclusion to the true story of Zane's life. Zane has taken us on a ride through the trials and tribulations of his marriage. He was brave enough to leave nothing out and take us to the lowest point in his life no matter how bad or humiliating it was. Even though Zane hurt the two people in his life that loved him the most, they stuck by him and together they worked to repair the broken man he had become. At the end of the book we find the true reason why Zane chose to share his life with us. This is an emotional book that will take you on a roller coaster ride. I encourage everyone to read this book and not judge Zane, Chad or Jenna for the things that happen during this span of their lives. This is their true story.

Simply outstanding
Wonderfully written gripping story

[Rachel Hendry · Rating 5 out of 5]

Here we have the final part to Zane Michaelson’s very personal journey. It is important to read the first two episodes before diving into this book to truly understand and get the full impact of this series.
I was anxious about this final part not really having much idea how this journey would end... well being a true version of events it never really ends entirely.
Out of the three books this was the most emotional for me... seeing Zane at his very worst, acting abhorrently at times to those he loved and to those he didn’t was shocking to me, but very very brave to put oneself out there like that. As the journey continued however it became clear his actions were of a desperate man who didn’t know how to salvage the wreck his life had become.
I won’t give away any more or indeed the outcome of this triad of people but it didn’t end in the way I expected... at all.
The writing was descriptive and bold, brutally honest at all times and conversational in its delivery, this allowed us to really feel and experience the journey alongside Zane.
It’s certainly a series that keeps you thinking long after you’ve finished reading and whether or not the subject matter is something that you like to read or not there no arguing that it’s compelling reading...it’s very real....very raw and frankly is a testament to the strength of all involved...Zane for recognising the mistakes he made, why he made them and how to try and put them right.... Jenna for her unwavering strength and her deep love for her family... and lastly Chad who perhaps plays the biggest role of all by finally accepting who he was, and being ok with it .
5 stars from me... I’m still recovering the journey but I commend Mr Michaleson on his bravery in letting us take a look at his very personal and at times heartbreaking story...thank you

A heart wrenching, next in series

If you’ve read the first two books of this series, then you’re already aware of what Zane and Jenna are going through, but be prepared! Till Death Do Us Part has scenes and situations that may be too much for some readers.
This third installment holds little if anything back as confrontations bring everything to the point of no return.
Jenna is a woman of strength and determination who is fighting for the love of her life and her family’s future, but she also has a heart bigger than earth itself and an unparalleled capacity for forgiveness.
As Zane spirals further into his depression and guilt, drowning it with alcohol, isolation, and reckless behavior, he finds himself in the worst situation imaginable.
His physical, mental, and emotional state at the midpoint of this book had me sobbing, unable to see the words through my tears, but it’s the rock bottom that was necessary for him to drag him back from the brink and reach out for help.
Unfortunately, as Zane and Jenna forge ahead in rebuilding their marriage, a tragic event left them both reeling once again as they deal with the emotional aftermath and once again I found myself in tears.
As I’ve said in my reviews for the first two books, the dual points of view, writing style, and commentary in this series brings every raw emotion to the table and insights into what the authors went through and how they they view that time in their lives now. I can’t recommend this series enough but go into with an open mind and have tissues ready.

[Carolann Evans · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a hard review to write because I'm scared of not doing this book justice. I was first recommended Part One of ‘I Know What You’re Doing - She Loves to Watch Me Play’ by a friend.
Since then, I've followed this author’s story and it really has affected me. At times I've thought ‘OMG, why has he written such an intimate part of his life for everyone to read? Well, this book explains why he did it, and I'm really honoured to have read his story. It’s clear he was depressed and turned to and old flame, whether it was to try and get back to a time when he was carefree with no responsibilities, or if he was grieving for his Grandparents, who where a big part on his life. After Part Two ‘Our Dirty Little Secrets, where everything comes to a head when Jenna hears those three little words and freaks out, Zane hits rock bottom and he makes choices that come with dangerous consequences. This story had me shouting at the book ‘NO, NO, OH GOD, NO’ and then it was who will save him from himself? Would it be Chad or Jenna? Just when you think these three can't possibly go through anymore heartache you’re wrong. The end had me in tears. I couldn't believe how this story came to an end. Zane must have been having to live through everything again, just so he could tell his story and for that he is a very brave man. Although this story must have taken it's toll on you mentally and physically I hope you find peace to live your life and be happy.

[Louise · Rating 5 out of 5]

So, we're at the finale of the I Know What You're Doing series and what a journey it's been. I have to say that I think this part of the series is Zane's best yet, if a little too over the top at times.

There are aspects of the book that may cause triggers for some people but it is dealt with tastefully. However I felt the main character somewhat overcame a traumatic event rather quickly, BUT, I realise that situations are dealt with independently in every walk of life so do not hold that against the author. Personally for me though it was brushed over too quickly.

For a debut author though with three books of the same story is very well written. The descriptions of some of the scenes are easy to depict and the characters are easily connected to in this book. Although I enjoyed the previous books, it wasn't until Til Death Us Do Part that I actually connected with the characters. They were more human for me personally and I could see and feel the heartache, the grief and the relief.

Despite some of the flaws that I've depicted, for me it's still a five star read. For a debut author, who based the story on aspects of his life is endearing. It was great to share the experience through his words. I'd highly recommend it.

[Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

My heart broke for Zane and Jenna and many tears were shed reading this book as they both faced heartbreaking devastation, through consequences, decisions and choices made in the darkest moments of their lives together.
I remember reading the first edition of this series before the new updates and how it played on my mind for a long time after, this true life story is going to stay with me even after reading those final pages.
The love and friendship that forms between Zane, Jenna and Chad after everything they go through together, was very special and I think Jenna is a remarkable Woman for instigating Zane and Chads reconciliation.
BUT... Life can throw some curveballs at times, and the one it threw Zane and Jenna in the end was cruel and unimaginable and I can totally see how Zane found it unbelievable and questionable as well.
This is one of the saddest, heartfelt love stories that I've ever read and probably more so because its based on Zane and Jenna's actual true life.
I so admire them both for fighting for the life that they both wanted together and feel it's made them stronger.
They both deserve only happiness now and I wish them all of that and more always.

[The Redhead · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have never read a series that has attached itself to my heart as much as this one has.
The story alone would make for a page turning book, but to know this is the author’s life experience brings the words to a new level. Since the story is real the details and descriptions are like looking through Zane’s eyes. It’s not just “maybe” this is how he thinks. This is what he was thinking and feeling. It goes into some very dark places that only someone who has tried to punish themselves could ever relate to so be ready.
Thank you for sharing your story. My heart hurts for everyone affected. At the same time I am reminded of unconditional love. It’s the kind of love that fights to survive during the good time and bad.
This series must be read from the beginning. I am glad I had a break between releases for the book hangover to subside. That said I can’t wait to read the series from cover to cover without the break. I am sure I will get a whole new perspective of the Zane, Jenna and Chad’s story.

You wrote from your heart and it shows

[Redd77 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Speechless and without a doubt a great read.

I'm really at a loss for words on how the story of Zane, Jenna and Chad's lives evolved from start to finish throughout this series. If you've been on this journey with Zane as he shared his life with us there's really no words to say that true fans will need to hear, but if you have just come across this series, I insist you go back to the beginning, back to She Loves to Watch Me Play and join the rest of us who have proudly taken the time to become a part of the story as Zane wanted us too. Reading M/M books is not my forte. I say that so you know this review is legitimately coming from an unbiased reader and telling you that this series is so much more than sex scenes or writing to fill the pages is an honest opinion. Zane is one of the most talented writers I have come across in a long time. If you pass this serious up because of preconceived notions you are losing out. Set aside any judgement that this is based on someone's real life and you won't be disappointed.

When I was reading this book, I just couldn't couldn't couldn't believe this was a true story! It would've been like if someone had come to me and told me that, oh, I dunno, The Lord of the Rings was a true story. I mean, a masterpiece already is a masterpiece when it is made up out of someone's head. But when it is made up, you can make anything happen, so that part of the magic, the magic of things coming out just so perfectly, is lost. Because in fiction, of course things work out just perfectly - you made it up, so you can do what you want! But when it's fact? Just blew me away that this was all real. People doing things you can only imagine people doing, but no one I know actually does these things, or have these things happen to them. That made this book so amazing for me. Also Zane Michaelson just bared his soul writing this book. I really have to take hats off to an author who has the courage to do something like this.

[Gloria Nuckols · Rating 5 out of 5]

This review only took me 4 drafts to finalize. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t find the right words to explain why you should read this book without including spoilers.

This final book of the “I Know What You’re Doing” series is remarkable. Not only did I feel the heartbreak, but I felt the deep love – the kind that drops you to your knees. Yes there is trauma, yes there is anger, yes there are some terrible mistakes, but at the end of it all is the reason this series came to light. This book left me with the opinion that love truly can be everlasting.

The writing is amazing and will take you on a journey, and in true Zane style, make you feel a rollercoaster of emotions. I have never wanted to hug and protect someone as I did in this book. You will see ugly, but you will see so much more beautiful. Take a chance and read this book – it is definitely worth it. I am looking forward to see what Zane brings to us next.

An emotionally charged journey

Wow, my heart hurts after reading this. Such true emotion that grips you and the passion is inspiring. The truth of a deep never ending love has been given in this story, the emotional toll it took on me to read this was worth every min. The honesty, the fear, the pain, the anger is a true look into the soul of a great man and his true love. His story was difficult to tell, but it needed to be to start the healing. With that said I have so much respect for him putting himself out there and open up to world with no care as to what others think, that is true selflessness and for that will always have a place in my heart for this story. The journey was difficult and long but he never faltered, once he chose to right the wrongs and to restore the love and his family a true inspiration to us all. This book will leave you with every emotion at once but I'm glad I took it .

[Kelly · Rating 5 out of 5]

What attracted me to this book was the title, but more importantly the first line in the description "This book is based on real-life events." I feel more authors write about their personal life and are afraid to admit it for a number of reasons.
Zane gives you a glimpse into what we might perceive as a "normal" family but behind closed doors another reality exist. I could not put this book down. Thank God I bought the entire series.

Zane had my panties soaking wet with his incredibly hot and wild sex scenes. And to know there based on "real life experiences" will have you opening up your mind to endless possibilities. He leaves you desiring for so much more. By noon, I had read them all with my mouth wide open in shock and surprise. I didn't see that ending coming at all.

I was so personally moved by this series I emailed Mr. Michaelson commending him on his courage and humility to be able to tell his story. I highly recommend this book and the entire series.

Just read it!

*SPOILER*

I don’t even know what to say. I had so many different emotions run through me throughout this whole little series! It touched me so deeply cause so much of it was like it was me telling the story. The struggles with not only marriage but with just life. I can relate in so many ways. While reading this I was so mad and happy and sad and frustrated and of course turned on and then BAM....heartbroken..devastated!! Definitely teared up a couple times and even cried a couple times throughout but then bawled at the end! NOT what I was hoping or expecting and I can not tell you how truly sorry I am for your loss and for all that you all have been through!!! I’m still crying while writing this! Chad seemed like such a good man. Thank you for sharing this story! ❤️🙏🏽🤟🏽

[Xavier Neal · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great read if...you enjoyed part 1 & 2, complicated situations, plot twists, and an ending that contains closure.

Side Note: This was the final book. The final moment in the drama I couldn't get enough of. It had so much love and mending and forgiveness. It showcased so many unexpected emotions and moments. Dangers from not only dealing with the aftermath of not the greatest decisions but what can happen when you give up hope. I will say this. The ending...the final words and the closure of the very end made the rest of the story make that much more sense. It also gave this book a very distinct voice and purpose and I thank the author for sharing. I know how difficult it can be to pull from your own experience and definitely understand the reason why. This set was a great read to me.

Book 3 in the" I Know What Your Doing" series is the final chapter in a time of Zane's life.
As Zane's life spirals out of control, Jenna turns to Chad to help her get her husband back.
The emotional highs and lows they experience brought me to tears many times, especially at the end.
All three books are Five Star reads and I'm glad Zane chose to share his story with us.
Zane, all I can say is your one bell of a man for telling us your story and you are lucky to have such a strong and loving wife in Jenna. I loved this series.

[Rhonda Hicks · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the third book and conclusion to "I Know What You're Doing" Series. I sit here with tears running down my cheeks trying to write this review without giving anything away.

Till Death Do Us Part gives the reader the insight into the deepest, darkest parts of his mind when he tries to come to terms with the damage that's been done to five people in this story.

If you haven't read "She Loves to Watch Me Play" or "Our Dirty Little Secrets", do so before reading this one. The emotional journey and growth are so profound, you won't want to miss a word
