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.

Pencil sharpener
Electric pencil sharpeners are all well and good, but I like the mechanic type as you have more control over the position and speed of the sharpening process. You also don’t have to find yet another outlet for the plug for the electric variety - last count 17 devices plugged in under my desk! I also like the white slick look of this sharpener from Muji. If you have one of those glass desks, this item would look superb on it.
