While Bradley earned a degree in computer science and engineering and worked in the information technology field for years, he could never quite shake his desire to explore other worlds.

It made him want to write more. He went on to write The Lays of Anuskaya series as well as The Song of Shattered Sands series. He has published work in the \u003ci\u003eRealms of Fantasy Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, Orson Scott Card's \u003ci\u003eIntergalactic Medicine Show\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWriters of the Future 20\u003c\/i\u003e, and several anthologies.
