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.

I have needed a couple of days to let my emotions settle after reading this book. I knew from Pimped Out that the subject matter was brutal and harsh but it didn’t in any way prepare me for the events that unfolded during In Too Deep. Tyson has come to mean a lot to me and every horror and pain he experienced cut deep. Zane Michaelson has really pulled no punches with his writing and nor should he. Though Tyson is a fictional character there are many, too many real life Tyson’s suffering in the world. Society as a whole turns a blind eye and maybe we can’t blame them because to most of us their suffering is unimaginable. If this book does anything to open peoples eyes to the seedier side of life then it’s worth that alone to read it. It’s not just that though, the characters, storyline and authenticity are all there too.
I really can’t recommend this series enough. Yes, it’s hard hitting, devastating and tragic but it’s also a story of one young mans courage and determination to make a difference in the seedy underworld that has him in its grip. I eagerly await the third part of the series. 5 stars.

I know this series is based on fiction but the way this story is written makes it so believable. The lengths Kieran is going to in order to ensnare Tyson into thinking he has no way out is heartbreakingly realistic. Tyson stole something from Kieran and now Kieran is making him pay. At first Tyson went along with it because he could see no way out, but now he wants justice but what will be the price he has to pay to get it? I said before this book is so realistic and it's scary because this is happening in real life but because we aren’t affected by it, we seem to ignore it. This story has really opened my eyes to the depth of deception and corruption involved. A story that will stay with me forever. Heartbreaking to the point I had to put my kindle down a few times and go back to it. I would definitely recommend this series because this story needs to be read for you to understand the pure genius of this author. I'm scared but also intrigued by what he has in store for Tyson next.

Wow!! Part Two of 'Selling my Soul '
Zane Michaelson has left me a total emotional wreak!! After ripping my heart out, leaving me shocked!!

I'm so full of emotions after finishing this, I was in tears before the end but I was full blown crying at the finish.
I read it in one go even though along the way it was hard but I needed to know and felt pulled in.
There were some funny and light moments, especially Kyle's Mum she made me laugh.

I am a great lover of dark books and loved part one 'Pimped Out' so I was so excited to read this but I wasn't prepared for how I feel, I have never felt so emotional and heavy hearted, Dark reads don't leave me like this!

So after all that even though my heart is in bits!
I still have to say how good this book is, very well written and my dark side absolutely loved it!

I am now waiting for the final part to see how this all ends!!
I'm not sure if my heart is though!
You definitely nailed dark! I hope you will write some more in the future.

I would highly recommend this book and this Author.

Must read

Zane Michaelson has pulled me into this dark and twisted world that is destroying Tyson's life.
I finished reading in one sitting, I couldn't put it down.

The emotions running through me while reading this story were all over the charts.
A few chuckles and smiles here, a loving tender moment there and heart crushing, gut wrenching scenes to round it all out.

After closing my tablet I sat quietly, staring off in complete silence.
The anger and hurt sat on my chest like cement while I processed what I just read. I was numb. Then it hit me.
A slow ache that worked its way up from the pit of my stomach until I couldn't hold back the tears.

It was the sweet and tender moments that lulled me into a false sense of security, then wham, not so fast, now that you love these characters I'm going to rip your heart out.

Oh, and let's not forget, the story isn't over yet. Book 3 is coming soon, but not soon enough.

Ever have a book or series that is etched into your life forever - this series is it for me. I will never forget the names Tyson, Kyle and Kieran. Tyson for the unthinkable things he has to go through and the innocence to his naivety. Kyle for his never-ending support and love for Tyson. Kieran for his absolutely horrendous behavior that makes him such a despicable person no one should ever meet.

Zane has done an amazing job with this installment, I have felt hope, love, anger, pain, chills and devastation all in this novella. If I could bottle the emotions into an app and link to this review, it would be a best seller today.

It is definitely not for the faint of heart, but I highly recommend it! If you were ever to take a chance on a series from an author that you were not familiar with, this would be the one I would suggest.

Do Not expect sunshine and Rainbows reading this book, this book is brutal and heart wrenching and it has you gripped in its claws, unable to put it down. I devoured this book in one sitting feeling the love and hope for Tyson and Kyle one moment and then BAM !!! Totally shattered the next.
It is brilliantly written by Zane Michaelson with only a few other books touching me and devastating me the way that this book has. It’s a 5 star read for me and while I’m nervous for Ashes to Ashes, I need to read more.

In Too Deep, the 2nd book in the Selling My Soul series, is another outstanding book by Zane Michaelson.
You will fall in love with Kyle and Tyson as they try to navigate their relationship and the obstacles they have to see endure.
The book is filled with intrigue, anger, devastation, misery and love. All of these emotions combined leave you with a book that you won't be able to put down.

I thought the first book was dark, and emotional, but have to say this one is even better. Just like the 1st book, I had to stop and absorb the feelings and thoughts I felt while reading. Not many books often bother me emotionally, but have to confess, this series has broken that organ. I'm not a spoiler, but will say you need to read this series. So much to say, but won't in case you read. Form your own opinion. Well written, very good story and answers some questions about how dark a person can go. Or in the characters case, how much more can he take? I love reading this author's books and have to admit having my favorites. But this one caught my attention pretty quickly on, and now I can only say, more please. I recommend highly as a great read if you like dark, mysterious and suspense about what's happening next. Because I do, and was not disappointed at all, and don't think you'll be either.

An amazing story which left me numb!

I couldn't wait to start reading the second part of this story, but also did so with trepidation as the blurb and reviews warned of heartbreak......they were not wrong!
On finishing this brilliant book I was so numb with shock I had no words in my head to describe how I felt.......it took me a while to get my thoughts together to be able write this review!
So basically Zane Michealson took my heart, squeezed it until I thought it would stop, then pulled it out and threw it away in tiny, shattered pieces! That's about all I can say other than I highly recommend you read the amazing second part of Selling My Soul series......but you have been warned!

I have loved this series from the beginning. In Too Deep will touch and shock you in many you have not felt in a long time. Once you start reading you will continue until the last page. Your heart will race wanting to find out what will happen. Zane Michaelson takes this story and makes you a part of it. This is heartbreaking and amazing at the same time. You will love this as much as I do. Thank you Zane Michaelson for giving us stories and characters we fall in love with. This is a must,must, must read.

Zane Michaelson takes drug lords and sex trafficking to a new low. Tyson's slow path through hell continues from Pimped Out to In too Deep. Michaelson spares no one from the blemishes the underworld ropes in and spits out. This tale is painted with the hard cold truths about a world most societies brush under the carpet. Michaelson uses his prose power to bring reality to the surface and acknowledge the ruthlessness of crime lords and their tangled webs across providences and country lines. The world Tyson stepped into is beyond his comprehension and as much he works to keep his lover, Kyle, safe and the DI Zara Mulaney undercover he loses more of himself in this tortured game Keiran taunts him with.

Michaelson uses foreshadowing in the best of ways, as he continues this journey for Tyson Reece. He infuses a juxtaposition between the life Tyson envisions for himself through Kyle and the reality fo the life he feels he deserves in Kieran. It would not be in true Michealson form to be left waiting for just how cruel the world can be before justice is served or the bad guys win. In too Deep definitely leads the reader on a journey most refuse to recognize and leaves them waiting for Ashes to Ashes to figure out who's burying who in this criminal world.

This book continues the story of Tyson and what he is being forced to endure at the hands of a former lover. It tells of a life where people seek revenge and control of others lives. Part two of this series will keep you on the edge of your seat your emotions will be running wild. Tyson and Kyle have finally realized what it is they both want, but before they can find their HEA other issues have to be dealt will first. Kieran Wayland is seeking revenge against Tyson and has forced him into a world he doesn't want to be a part of. With support from the love of his life Kyle will he be able to break free and live the life they crave. Many twist and turns will lead you to an answer but you will need to read this excellent series to find out what happens. I highly recommend this book and this series and I look forward to finding out where it will all lead. But I'm keeping the tissues close by. I wish I could rate it higher than 5 stars.

In Too Deep

Wow what an ending! Zane has done it again!
Tyson had gotten in far too deep, now easily doing the drugs Kieran has him hooked on.
Turning against his friend and ultimately putting his life in the worst kind of danger.
But you'll need to resd the book to find out what happens to Kyle.
Waiting now with baited breath to see what becomes of Kieran in the next installment
Ashes to Ashes...

Another exceptional read...It's gripping, it's emotional and it's heartbreaking. The author captured me from book one of this series. As these books have progressed I fell more and more in love with Tyson and Kyle. This story was well written, gripping, heartbreaking, filled with intrigue, and will leave you speechless! If you like heart pounding, pulse racing, emotional reads, then this is your book. This is a definite must read, one-click the book today, you won't regret it.

I feel like I am speechless after reading this book. I went from feeling happy things might work out to crying my eyes out. When you finish this book which is a cliffhanger you will be wondering if Tyson will ever make it out alive. Now we wait for book three to see what happens. Enjoy and keep a box of Kleenex handy. 😭😭

In Too Deep takes you on a ride with so much suspense and brings you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and you won’t want to put it down. I feel for all these characters and I can’t wait to see where Zane takes them from here.

I really have to think about these reviews. This book is a continuation of Tyson story. He has had so much trauma a person should never go through, but unfortunately even though this if fiction, it is apart of our world. You forget this is a fictional story because this does happen in reality and it feels like sometimes you are reading these characters memoirs. All the pain, the unjust it tears your heart out into tiny pieces. The plot just keeps getting better with each book. I love this one in particular because Zane Michaelson didn’t hold back. He gave you cut throat ruthless reality, and even though again those characters are fictional, the subject matter hits you on a human level and makes you aware and starts waking up what you may have forgotten sitting nice and cozy in your home. I highly recommend reading these books, not only because it’s suspenseful, but it’s a good wake up call about what is going on in our world today.

The disaster continues for Tyson. His life continues down a path that he's not sure he can recover from. Will I ever have my happy ever after or am I destined to be miserable the rest of my days. The only light at the end of my tunnel is Kyle. We have finally admitted our feelings and I hope soon we can be together. Maybe I can live long enough. All I want is someone to love me, a house and kids, is that to much to ask? I am starting to feel like it will never happen for me. I have to put my life on hold, I have to bring down Kieran, even if it cost me my life. Just when Tyson thought things couldn't get any worse, it DID and in a big way.
Omg, I have to have part three. These books are so touching. I feel like I can actually feel Tyson's pain. I am dying to see what happens next.

Oh wow oh wow oh wow, this is my fav series of all of Zane's series. He hasn't finished writing the series yet so I can't finish reading it yet! This is exactly my kind of story, there's so much intrigue, suspense, mystery, you just can't guess what's going to happen next or how it could possibly end. Emotionally gripping too, not just thrilling fast action (which there is also plenty of). He should make a serial of this one with 1 book a week for the next 5 years haha. This book a continuation of the first book only ups the thrills, suspense and mystery and pulls you into Tyson's story even more, and you also want to find out what happens with the other characters that this book makes you really care about.

Part 2 of Selling my sole series! I thought Book one was bad enough but this one took its toll. This author knows how to pull your emotions out of you.
Again I will read the next one but I need to settle my neves first.

Fantastic read and definitely worth 5 stars
