Biography of roy pond

People have asked where my depth of knowledge as a writer of books on Egypt comes from. The answer - from a lifetime spent studying ancient Egypt and Egyptian archaeology and from numerous research trips to Egypt.

'The Smiting Texts' - a modern archaeological thriller, an ancient, esoteric time bomb - is my first adult novel, following on from award-winning success as a writer of novels for young readers, published under the name Roy Pond in UK, Australia and USA.
