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.

If you are looking for a great read then you want to read There Are Two Sides to Every Story, it is unlike anything I have read before. Talk about all the feels in a book, this one has it in spades. Zane Michaelsonand Jenna Michaelson are magic together.
I met Zane at an author takeover and liked the blurbs about his books that he posted. I asked for a recommendation of where to start, he said Two Sides to Every Story. This book is the compilation of the I Know What You’re Doing Series (She Loves to Watch Me Play, Our Dirty Little, Till Death Us Do Part and How Does a Moment Last Forever). This subject matter is very graphic and has triggers, so reader beware.
Zane is a happily married man; he loves Jenna with his very being but felt that something was missing in his life. A blast from the past comes back into his life and his world is turned upside down and inside out. This is the heart-wrenching real-life story of Zane, Jenna, and Chad Mitchell an old friend of his from college.
This book has love, betrayal, loss, compassion, etc., so grab Two Sides to Every Story today and get the Kleenex ready to let the waterworks flow.

I am just stunned at this book. The raw emotions in this book are beyond anything I could have imagined. I applaud Zane and Jenna for putting their story out there for people to read. It is an amazing journey and I recommend this book to anyone that wants a love story based on true events.I am not certain I could have been this brave to write what these two went through. True love conquers all.

This was a beautiful story. It was an amazing journey of hurt, loss, heat, deception, devotion, and ultimately love and accepting. I love the way Zane and Jenna handled difficult topics

I have thought and thought about this review. I loved each book in this combined set individually for different reasons. Each book will give you a glimpse into the world of Zane and Jenna. It is packed with a rollercoaster of emotions. If you truly read and feel the words put into each of these stories, you will cry with the heartache and pain, want to throw your kindle with the anger, but also wrap yourself up in the love that threads throughout them all. I am honored to have been able to read each one of them and would recommend them to everyone.

A great Series and both sides of the Story.
One hell of a rollercoaster ride of highs, lows, emotions, heartbreak, secrets and some real steamy sex.... I went from every emotion possible with their story. It made me cry, laugh, smile, sad, angry, but I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Its made a real difference to me and my heart.

I had to read all the books individually, and the wait was unbearable. But now it's one Book no waiting.
I think Zane & Jenna were very brave to write their story and share it to the world.



I know what you're Doing ~ Series

This is the complete story all in one book. I read it in 3 parts and the wait between them was very painfully hard!! as I was left hanging at the end of "She Loves To Watch Me play" and I was a emotional wreak at
the end of "Our Dirty Little Secrets." But in "Till Death Us Do Part" my heart was in pieces and I cried even before the book was finished I didn't see the way this story ended coming !! ( tissues definitely needed)

This Series was the first books from Zane Michaelson and what a amazing start ! I was taken on a rollercoaster of highs and lows these books are very well written and they get you right from the start, Zane's talent for writing is excellent as it makes you feel all the emotions he, Jenna and Chad go through on every page I felt like I was there with them. What a fantastic ride it was and I'm so glad I read Zane Michaelson story it as touched me in a way no other Story or Author I am not sure my heart will ever be the same again and I know this will stay with me forever.

How Does a Moment Last Forever ~ Jenna's side :

This is based on real life..
This is Jenna Michaelson side of the story we all know Zane's we have felt the emotional Zane's rollercoaster!!

But this is her side told by her in a very well written book you get to know how she felt and what happened after the end of where Zane took us.
I really loved! reading this book I went through lots of emotions, I even had a little cry. (a Michaelson thing!)
Jenna made me feel her sadness, pain, and heartache and how they both got to where they are now.
I felt I was getting to know her with every turn of the page, that takes a special talent I want to say how brave she has been to write her side of the story and how well she has written it so you can feel what it was like for her.
I'm so glad Jenna got the chance to write this book so now we have both sides of a really well written touching, emotional loving story which I have loved being able to share this with them. Their story will live with me forever
My heart will never be the same.I I hope my review does justice to this truly brillant book.

A truly special tribute to Chad. RIP

The whole story rold..... The End

[Joanne · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have to start by stating that this series is NOT fiction. It’s based on real events over a relatively short period of time in the authors’ marriage when Zane reconnected and had an affair with his male friend, roommate, and lover from college. If you dislike cheating in books, this series is probably not for you!
If you do read this series, please keep an open mind and leave judgement at the door as Zane & Jenna are real people!
While I didn’t read the originals, the new versions are updated with more detail and insights. I’m in awe of Zane and Jenna for not only saving their relationship, but for thriving in the aftermath and for sharing their story.
That being said, this series still has so many things I love in a book. There’s insanely hot spice, both MF and MM, and voyeurism as Jenna finds herself heartbroken but captivated and aroused when she secretly watches her husband with another man. Zane’s lover Chad had a dominant personality in the bedroom and the filthy, degrading mouth on him was hot AF.
I really loved the writing style too. It’s written in a way that often had me forgetting that it’s a true story. With the dual points of view, we get both sides as it happened with insights into their feelings about it all years later. At times it was easy to imagine I was sitting alone with Zane and Jenna as they shared all the raw emotions and gritty details with me.
The series has gut wrenching heartbreak for everyone involved and once Jenna confronted Zane, things got worse before they got better. At his lowest point, I sobbed uncontrollably for his mental, emotional, and physical state but this story is also a beautiful example of the strength and healing power of love and forgiveness as Jenna befriends Chad in her determination to help Zane and save her marriage.
Throughout the series I wondered what would inspire Zane and Jenna to write and publish their story. That question is answered and to avoid giving anything away, I’ll just say that it’s heartbreakingly beautiful.

To summarize in one word? Unforgettable!

This is the second book I’ve read from this author and it totally blew me away. How incredibly brave to write such a personal book, warts and all. I had no idea what to expect when I started it and didn’t realise it was a true account. It’s an understatement when one says fact can be stranger than fiction and I’m sure if this had been fictional, some people would have said bits were not believable , it just goes to show, one can blow that theory out of the water. To me it showed how true love can know no boundaries, how people shouldn’t be labelled or not accepted just because they don’t follow what’s viewed as convention. It really added to the book to get Jenna’s perspective and she sounds an amazing woman. It was both shocking, poignant, erotic and challenging. It showed how depression can overwhelm a person, how making what seems like a small decision at the time can lead to devastating consequences. It showed the power of love and friendship that can transcend the most tangled and complicated situation and relationships. What a fitting tribute to Chad, he sounds like an amazing man and his story is now out there, so he can never fade away. Thank you to the authors for sharing such intimate revelations, I applaud you both. A well deserved five stars from me

Marriage is a difficult institution. Couple it with adulthood, childrearing, family dynamics, and career stressors the weight produces a breaking point. Zane Michaelson tells of his fall down the rabbit hole of each of these stressors and lands in the depression zone. His wife Jenna knew her husband had fallen but had no experience how to fix him. Then, Zane made the risky move of contacting his old roommate. A roommate he'd loved and adored while in college. As he drowned in his own depression, his old roommate brought him back to the light. Little did Zane know his wife was aware of this indiscretion but saw the change in him she was unable to make.

However, affairs of the heart come with consequences, and There are Two Sides to Every Story is an amazing journey of one couple's fight for the love they both desire. It is a read which I'm still processing daily as it holds incredible value to the human condition.

[Rhonda Hicks · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this book AFTER I read "I Know What Your Doing: The Whole Story". The story itself is a heart wrenching, gripping tale of a married man with twin daughters who has lost himself to depression when he can no longer emotionally feel the happiness his life has always offered him. I can express to you how powerful this story is or how much I enjoyed going through the journey with Zane and Jenna. What does disappoint me is after reading "I Know What Your Doing: The Whole Story", I was expecting more from Jenna's point of view during all of this, rather than a retelling of what I had already read with a nominal amount of paragraphs added that weren't in Zane's tale. Either way, it's a 5 star rating. There's no taking away from the storyline, the author, or the personalities in the book.

[Connie · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an emotional rollercoaster!!

I am speechless but not in a bad way, I know that it had to take a lot of courage to allow us into your life and read part of your most private moments. I was not able to put the book down reading into the wee hours of the mornings. My emotions were all over the place. Sometimes life is not a fairytale ending, but you control it. Jenna was a strong women in Zane's story. She fought for him and in the end helped him through a rough time in a journey that started a long time ago. This story is so intense. I cried, there were times I would cry out "oh no" then I would be "you go, Jenna"!!. Wow just Wow. Take a chance and follow Zane and Jenna in their amazing Journey. Thank you for sharing your story.
No matter what life throws at you, you have the power to overcome it. I will be reading more book written by Zane Michaelson!!

[TopsieJ · Rating 5 out of 5]

An amazing series!!

Wow! Not quite what I was expecting but so much more. It's taken me over a week to be able to write this review because the book left me an emotional wreck! The fact that it's based on true life makes it so much more emotionally charging. The emotions of the raw, real life story pulled at my heart and soul. It is so amazing that Zane Michaelson has put this wonderful and highly emotive part of their lives into words and my heart goes out to Zane, Jenna and Chad. The 4th part of this series is a wonderful insight from Jenna's point of view with some serious and comical inserts from Zane in response. Thank you both! PS. The song 'Knock Three Times" will now forever make me giggle......
Please read this series. So highly recommened.

[Mardell Bonasso · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, I finished this book a few days ago and it took me that long to gather my thoughts. What an amazing book this was. It had all the feels! I give Zane and Jenna 5 stars each for having the courage to put their story out there for the world to read. I have to admit, I did not like Zane or Chad very much throughout this book and had the utmost respect for Jenna and Melissa. As the story progressed and more was revealed my feelings towards Zane and Chad changed. This is a well written, emotionally charged book! I feel it should come with a tissue warning as well. This book was a gift to me from Maggie Jane Schuler who said, "Perfect lives are not always perfect." There Are Two Sides To Every Story is an excellent example of this.

[The Redhead · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Whole Story, Both sides of the marriage coin. I devoured this story. This retelling of real life events in Jenna and Zane Michaelson's life is full of emotional ups and downs. You never know how you will react to secrets and betrayals in your relationship until you are living it. I would hope that my relationship is strong enough to get through the hard times as this married couple did. I loved reading about how a wife who was on the outside of most of this story reacted and fought back. Why her actions were what they were. I highly recommend this book. It is a story that has brought my husband and I together to talk and share on a whole new level.

[Sharon · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a well written story of the other sides POV. Great story of how Jenna felt throughout the whole series, as well as when it actually happened. Makes you think, if you can have that kind of love and understanding with some trials and not giving up, you can survive most things in a marriage. Of course Zane makes quotes as well, but mainly her point of view. The things you think of doing if that were you, she may or may not have done. You'll have to read that for yourself. Well written, and answered some questions I had myself. If you've read the series, you need to read this as well is all I can say. Loved the cover, loved the book.

[Deb Moncrief · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kudos to Zane and Jenna Michaelson for sharing their story, which was so raw, intense, heart-wrenching, and heartbreaking, and at times tragic. I went on such an emotional rollercoaster ride reading this book. A few Times I had to step away from the book. However, there were moments when I smiled and laughed. I could feel the love between Zane and Jenna through the pages. I was so moved by this book. I liked that Jenna's point of view was included. I felt their pain, anguish, and desolation. Their love for one another is so prevalent. This story will stick with me for a long time. Thank you, Zane and Jenna for sharing your story.

[Wendy Ballard · Rating 4 out of 5]

in this book Zane and Jenna are married and has twins daughters and Zane starts to get into a depression state of mind.
Zane see an old friend on Facebook named Chad and they was friends with benefit in collage.
Both are married Zane is happy in love with Jenna and Chad is not happy with Mellissa

This book was pretty good to me but it did have a few things that is so gross to me and that is the reason for only 4 stars

[Jessica Edwards · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely could not put this book down until I finished it. Zane and Jenna’s story will touch your heart in so many ways. I have so much respect to the both of them in opening up their story like they did in this book. I understood Zane’s situation in this book. I felt both of their pain along with Chad and Melissa’s. This is an absolute must read, but it is imperative that it be read with an open heart and mind!

When worlds collide

First and foremost I want to thank Zane and Jenna for sharing their story. I know it took alot for you guys to put this book out. I'm shite at doing reviews because I don't like giving to much away. Just know that you all have a very special angel watching over all of you.

[wrkatreading]

I’m not sure about this. It was so far fetched. I’m not sure any woman would forgive so easily. My I read Zanes story but her side really irritates me. What in the heck was she blaming herself for. She did nothing wrong. I can’t give this book any stars because he used the writing of it to honor his dead lover.

Beautiful and heart wrenching

This story intrigued me so I started to read.
To be perfectly honest I almost stopped reading.
In the beginning I was repulsed, but the way Zane and Jenna shared their truth was well written.
I had to know how this story ended.
I admire their courage that it must have took to write about this part of their lives.

[Joy Boutwell · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a must-read book. The story is well written and flows. The book takes you on the emotional roller coaster ride of Zane & Jenna's life. You see the good, bad and tragic events of their life and the long affects it has on all involved.
