July Contest

American Valhalla

In Tony Daniel’s new novel The Dragon Hammer, Vikings not only discover the Americas—they stay and establish medieval kingdoms in the New World. Which got us thinking, what would major (or not-so-major) events in American history look like if Vikings took the place of the average American? Would the Beatles’ British Invasion have been driven off by hordes of sword wielding warriors? Would the Budweiser Clydesdales be advertising mead instead of beer? Let us know your idea in a short paragraph (100 words or less) for a chance to win a signed copy of The Dragon Hammer.
