Who is Nexus Publishing?
Originally from a small town called Darlaston – about ten miles north of Birmingham – I moved to West Sussex about ten years ago to help develop one of the first online retailers. Having recently moved to Shropshire I am now enjoying the working from home life in a semi rural location.
I have been a freelance writer and journalist for about fifteen years. Eight of them were spent doing various other jobs such as bookshop assistant, print finisher and returns clerk for a large library supplier, with the writing taking up evenings and any of my spare time. As you can see, much of my life so far has been spent working with books and publishing of one kind or another.
My time as an employee came to a conclusion some six years ago with redundancy, so I took the opportunity – and the money – to see if I could survive as a full-time freelance writer. That was five years ago. There have been some lean times – just ask my wife, Joanne. But after tasting the freelance life, there’s no going back.

Sun Jar Solar Lamp
Lighting is very important in a home office. There are all manner of desk and floor lamps to choose form. But how about capturing the sun in a jar? Simply leave the jar on a sunny window or in a bright room and the jar magically stores the light ready to release it again automatically turning on when it gets dark. The jars are waterproof allowing them to be used outdoors as well as indoors (though when not being used they should be kept inside). The frosted glass produces a magical effect, hiding all the equipment inside the jar but allowing the light to radiate as a soft orange glow (much like a candle), making it look as if the sun really has been caught.
