In Vikings' Arms: Erotic Romance for Women MATURE CONTENT A project of Cleis Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About Editor/Author Delilah Devlin is looking for historically-themed stories—centered around the Northmen—for a romantic erotica anthology tentatively entitled IN VIKINGS' ARMS: Erotic Romance for Women. Let your fantasies run wild to a time when men wearing bear shirts and conical helms captured fierce maiden's hearts! Don't feel you have to restrict your imaginings to any particular era or region—dream about the Rus who served in the Byzantine Varangian Guard; the Northmen bent on plunder for wealth and slaves; Vikings who traded with civilizations as far-flung as Persia; and those intrepid men who settled northern Europe (remember, they founded the city of Dublin!), Iceland, Greenland, and even North America. A few time-travel stories may be considered. And light paranormal is also acceptable. Delilah will be looking for stories rich in sensory detail that explore women's forbidden desires. For example, a Viking enters a British keep seeking gold and a comely slave. The lady's journey might lead her on a rough sea voyage in a longboat to a cold foreign land. He's expecting a servant; she's determined to make the best of her plight, and despite his fierce appearance and rough ways, she seduces him... Imagine what happens next...
