The Pharaoh, Life at Court and on Campaign (Thames and Hudson, 2012)
My latest book, and the culmination of many years of research. If you've ever wanted to know what the pharaoh did each day, this is the book for you. I cover the ideology and history of Egyptian kingship, but also the reality of being king - from the life of the crown prince, the coronation, and family life, to warfare and palace protocol.

Inside the Egyptian Museum with Zahi Hawass (Heritage World Press, 2010)
I edited this book whilst living in Cairo and working for Heritage World Press after leaving my job as Zahi Hawass' media content manager. It was a rare privilege to be present when Sandro Vannini was photographing these priceless objects outside of their cases, and an experience I will never forget.
