Neil Laird

Neil Laird is a multiple Emmy-nominated director of historical films for Discovery, BBC, PBS, History, National Geographic, and many other networks. 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.
