Chris Bradford’s non-fiction work comes from his career in the music industry before he became a fiction author. Between 2005 and 2007, he published five books on songwriting and the music business, including Heart and Soul: Revealing the Craft of Songwriting, Crash Course Songwriting, and three “Out Loud” guides covering artist management, record deals, and music publishing.

They provide an interesting look at the career path that eventually led him to become one of the most popular action-adventure authors for young readers.
