Hi there!

My name's Jonny Nexus. Welcome to my website.

I'm a computer programmer and writer who lives in London. As a child, I loved nothing more than writing stories (at the age of eight, a science-fiction short story of mine won first prize in my age group at an eisteddfod run by the local churches). But this simple joy was gradually beaten out of me at secondary school, by a succession of teachers who hated science fiction with almost as much passion as I loved it.

I continued working on intermittent fiction projects throughout my twenties, but my latent writing bug was really reignited in 1998, when I created a web-based roleplaying humour fanzine called Critical Miss. CM became rather successful: or at least it attracted rather a lot of links, which I'd like to think is a pretty good measure of success for a free, web based publication. I published a further issue of Critical Miss, Issue 10, in the spring of 2006, and plan to release further issues, when professional commitments allow.

Following on from Critical Miss, I moved into professional freelance writing, working first for Caliver Books on their print magazine Valkyrie Quarterly, and then moving on to the UK's largest roleplaying games publishing company, Mongoose Publishing. After writing their Slayers Guide to Games Masters, they asked me to write a regular column for their magazine Signs & Portents when it was launched in August 2003; I eventually wrote thirty columns before leaving to pursue other projects.

I'm currently working on my second novel while promoting my first novel Game Night, which was launched at the Dragonmeet gaming convention at Kensington Town Hall on December 1st 2007.
