He has a personal blog for anything that doesn’t fit here. A keen tennis player, an ocassional artist, writings and musings on Greece, and a chess fanatic.

He also writes books and other stuff …
Over the years he has authored a traditionally published print book, articles for various newspapers and online media, and 2 ebooks. His rental owners ebook is now being updated into its second edition, has sold hundreds of copies, and is titled …How To Successfully Market Your Holiday Home.
As the name kind of suggests, it’s mainly about marketing your rental, but also about managing it, and any owner would surely get a lot out of it. The current book is available here.

About Press Releases & Product Reviews
Press Releases

Michael does not post press releases, or write about press releases. If you have an interesting piece of news to share then please do not copy and paste press releases into the comments, contact form or email, it will only be ignored!

Product Reviews

Michael will review relevant products. Some of these products are purchased, some are provided freely, but there are NO paid reviews on this blog, and positive reviews are never promised. From time to time the links to tools a rental owner could use may be affiliate links, which means if you purchase through the link there may be a commission paid to Always Fully Booked. At no point does this alter the nature of the article, as any recommendations are only made when genuinely beneficial. Contact Michael if you would like your product reviewed, but keep in mind reviews are not guaranteed to be posted, particularly if the review turns out negative.

And Finally …
Michael was born in London, England. He lived in the UK for most of his life working as a management consultant in the service industry but now lives mainly in Greece. On the mainland coast. By a small rural village and as near as possible to all-year round tennis courts.
Michael only generally writes in the third person when he wants to gain a better Google ranking for his own name. He hopes you will forgive him this once..
