Beyond the Baby Babble: Surviving Life as a Work-at-Home Dad by Michael Kwan

Head and shoulders (knees and toes) above all the rest, the single most life-changing event I have ever experienced was becoming a dad. And I quickly came to realize I was both like every other parent and completely unlike everyone else.

In Beyond the Baby Babble, I discuss the many trials, triumphs and challenges that come with trying to strike a balance between my professional duties as a small business owner and my duties as a full-time stay-at-home dad. The boundaries between traditional gender roles are blurring, both for me as an engaged father and for my daughter surrounded by princess culture.

And the journey is only just beginning.

Make Money Online: Roadmap of a Dot Com Mogul by John Chow and Michael Kwan

My friend John Chow has been able to make quite a name for himself as a professional blogger, consistently earning over $40,000 a month from his personal blog. In this book, John recounts how he got started with blogging, as well as the various methods that he has used along the way for both promotion and monetization.

While John is the one who offers his techniques, my role was to package together his expertise and lessons into a logical and easy to follow package. Make Money Online: Roadmap of a Dot Com Mogul is the result of those efforts.
