Fil Preis is a German-Canadian writer who began writing stories at age two by filling page after page with zig-zags until she learned to make letters. Once her parents bought a computer, there was no stopping her. Fil is an enthusiastic member of several sci-fi fandoms and loves roleplaying, first-person shooters, giant robots, and of course yaoi. She has published stories with fantasy, romance, sci-fi, and horror elements—sometimes all in the same tale—and has just begun writing outside these genres, where she's found that the real world can be surprisingly sexy when you give it a chance.
