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.

Eco Stapler

We all need to do our bit for the planet, which includes looking for devices that can help us consume far less resources. My desk stapler finally died on me last week, so off I went to Staples to find a new one. The cost of a good one was surprisingly high. So I thought I’d check the web for any alternatives. Glad I did.

The Eco Stapler seems a great solution. You can only staple about three pages together, but this is still a way of saving money. As the website says: You can attach up to three sheets of paper together at any one time, which may not cover every stapling job, but every little helps. So much so in fact that, according to Wasteonline, if everyone in a UK office saved just one staple a day we would save a staggering 72 tonnes of metal a year! Order yours today and do your bit to help save the environment with one simple step.
