By day, Filip Wiltgren is a mild-mannered communication officer, software developer, and teaches communication and presentation skills at a post-graduate level. But by night, he turns into a frenzied ten-fingered typist, clawing out jagged stories of fantasy and science fiction, which have found lairs in places such as Analog, IGMS, Grimdark, Daily SF, and Nature Futures. Filip roams the Swedish highlands, kept in check by his wife and kids. His thoughts, email, and stories can be found at www.wiltgren.com
