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.

I’m sure like me you’ve worked your way through a load of keyboards over time. I think I’m currently on my fifth or sixth keyboard since I started working full-time from home. My latest is the wireless version of the Microsoft split ergonomic keyboard. Problem is the quality of the letters that are printed on each key leaves a lot to be desired as several are already rubbing off.
I guess, though, I use my keyboard for many more hours than they are design to for the average user. But I don’t want to replace the whole keyboard just because of a few missing letters.
My solution is two-fold. I have an old split Microsoft keyboard. I’m going to try and pull the keys I need off that keyboard and fit them to my current version. Failing that I think stick on letters are the easiest and most cost effective solution. Never used these before, so not sure if they are any good. I’ll let you know which solution works.
