About the Author
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.

Cool Connections
Can you really ever have enough USB sockets on your PC? I have a Mac Pro and ran out of sockets pretty much as soon as I unpacked the machine the day it was delivered. USB hubs come in all shapes and sizes of course, but looking at the latest issue of PC World’s magazine I came across the new range of hubs from Advent.
The hubs are compact and come in a range of colours to suit your mood and your office’s décor. Look out for a future review in the hardware review category that will soon be appearing on this blog. If anyone has already bought these hubs, let me know what you think.
