Roy Lester Pond

Taking my writing on the road, exploring Australia

The author’s depth of knowledge as a writer of books on Egypt comes from a lifetime spent studying ancient Egypt and Egyptian archaeology and from numerous research trips to Egypt. He is fascinated by the mystery of ancient Egypt and its potency and relevance for today’s world. ‘The Smiting Texts’ is his first archaeological thriller, following on from award winning success as a writer of novels for young readers.

Now it's my second career."
