Freya's Bower is compiling two collections.
The first collection is for speculative erotic romance stories from published authors. If you write about ghosts, werewolves, vampires, aliens, shape shifters, etc., we would love to peruse your material for our first established e-book author (print authors welcome too!) compilation: TRIALS OF FIRE.
Trials of Fire: Make it literal or use it as a metaphor. Perhaps your hero saves the damsel in distress from a fiery car crash. Maybe your protagonist has gone through a divorce that put her through pure Hell. Or perhaps you've got a character who likes to play with candles and hot wax? Hmmm...
Just remember, whether you write sweet sex stories or sizzling ones, the sex must be integral to the plot.
Word Counts: short stories should be no less than 3,000 words (if you're a little short on word count, that's okay, but it must be within 100 words or so of the 3K mark.) and no longer than 10,000 words. Gay/lesbian themes welcome.
And remember, this is for speculative fiction.
Collection number two, DREAMS AND DESIRES is for all you aspiring authors out there. Do you write erotica? Romantic erotica? Is your story sweet, tangy, or downright sizzling? Then why not send us your short stories?
Theme: A man or woman's ultimate desire. Maybe it's money or a dream home. Maybe it's being loved, or possibly it's something as simple as having someone to talk to about his or her hopes and dreams. Let your imagination run wild.
Just remember, whether you write sweet sex stories or sizzling ones, the sex must be integral to the plot.

Submissions are open now until April 15, 2006. However, should that date arrive and a writer is not finished with his/her submission, but is close, email me and we'll make arrangements of a completion/submission date. Submit to submit@freyasbower.com. Be sure to include "Submission: Trials of Fire or Dreams and Desires" in the subject line.
Be sure to read our Submission Guidelines thoroughly before submitting.

This sounds very cool -- I'll keep my eye out for the collections. Sounds like fun reading! Thanks for visiting my site. Good luck with the anthologies.
I would be considered for Dreams and Desires, right? Although I am scheduled for publication at Freya's Bower, I'm not really a "published" author with lots of e-books/books under my belt.

Dayum.
Mine's very tight at 12,600 words.
