Michael Mould is a licensed professional engineer in the State of Washington and by day is a Flight Test engineer. Several years ago, to earn a supplemental income, he and his wife started an online-bookselling business to finance their shared travel hobby. As a consequence of the bookselling success, several friends of friends asked to learn the business and Mike coached them to be successful online booksellers as well. The requests and coaching became overwhelming and Mike decided to write a book about online bookselling that captured everything about the subject. The result, "Online-Bookselling: A Practical Guide with Detailed Explanations and Insightful Tips," [CD-ROM ISBN 1599714876, Paperback ISBN 1427600708] was made available in February 2006 with the initial CD-ROM release. Being an engineer (a.k.a. someone that enjoys torturing data and making it conform to the likes of graphs and charts) and having a dislike for spending time filling out tax forms, Mike developed "Bookkeeping for Booksellers," [CD ISBN 1427600694] a 19 sheet linked Excel Workbook that did all of the record keeping for his online bookselling business. Also being one that did not like to see only the numbers, Mike incorporated 55 graphs so that he could see at a glance how his online bookselling business was performing. All of these works have received very positive reviews and Mike has really enjoyed the feedback and correspondence with his customers. Since he also enjoys writing very much, you can expect additional works on this topic as well as others. Recently, he added a restricted access forum for customers of his book to allow them to share ideas with each other and to provide a means for Mike to share thoughts, tips, and time sensitive data for the benefit of his customers. It has been a big hit with his customers and participation has been unbelievable. It seems the participants in the forum appreciate a place where they can learn from each other without the intimidation they found on marketplace seller communities. It has also afforded Mike a place to share things with his customers as a way of saying "Thank You" to them.
