Neil Laird
Author/TV Producer
Neil Laird is a multiple Emmy-nominated director of historical films for Discovery, BBC, PBS, History, National Geographic, and many other networks. All told, he's made over 1000 hour of non-fiction TV.
Many of his shows feature pickled pharaohs, creepy secret passageways and lost ruins moldering in the rainforest. These experiences led to his writing the time-traveling JARED PLUMMER VS. THE ANCIENT WORLD adventure series, which takes a motley crew of TV producers to places his cameras couldn't quite reach. Neil sometimes thinks he should spend a bit more time in the present day, but then he sees a fallen column or faded scrap of ancient parchment—and he’s off again down a rabbit hole. Currently he's working on the 3 book in the series, PRIME TIME TROY.
