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.

An interesting post is getting some coverage on several blogs at the moment. The ultimate PC set up details what the ideal home office could look like - at least as Microsoft think it ought to look. Check out the post yourself and see what you think.
Clearly your own home office set up will reflect your own choices in hardware and software. My set up consists of a Mac Pro, dual 23 inch Mac Cinema monitors. Wireless natural keyboard, Logitech MX mouse and a bank of external hard drives using the compact M9 enclosure. I have two laser printers. A mono Brother for ordinary black and white stuff, and a Samsung MFD for colour printing and scanning.
If you want more details about the set-up that is detailed on the Ultimate PC webpage, download the PDF. What’s your ultimate home office consist of? And how far have you go to making this a reality?
