Hello everyone!
It has been a while since it was my turn and I swear every time it is my turn I never have a clue what to write about. LOL This time the topic popped into my head after a friend told me how this guy propositioned her.
My topic, Fetishes: Freaky or Sensual is relevant in the world of romance. I mean, honestly, how many fetishes are out there do we see in romances and how many turn us on or off? Well, I decided to explore that for a bit. Now, I’m not going to get into who likes what or what I like (never that!) I’m just going to play devil’s advocate and speak like a fly on the wall. :-)
I decided to look into fetishes that men have because, well, I like men and the more I can learn about them the better my characters get. (*shrugs* that’s my line of thing anyway) When I started to look into fetishes I asked around and found that people can have a fetish about anything! Shoes, stockings, nails, hair, body parts from the top of your head to the soles of your feet! So I wondered how does one ‘get’ a fetish? I asked around about that, too, and found the answers made me go ‘hmm, I can see that’ and some made me go, ‘oookaaay, I’ll give that a nine on my strange-o-meter’ and there was even a few that I had to add to my, ‘damn!‘ list.
Some of the reasons were sexually based. Young boys coming into their sexuality find themselves in compromising positions with different objects as they peek in on the women they are transfixed on at the time. When they reach the goal they were trying to achieve (work with me here, I’m trying to keep this clean and politically correct.) said object becomes synonymous to that good feeling. If the behavior continues so does the connection. Over time the object in question makes you horny (can I say that?) because it reminds you of the good feeling and you’ve got yourself a fetish. Ta da!
For example: one guy told me with such lust in his voice and eyes about how he absolutely loved high heels on his women. He was in the closet when his sisters friend spent the night and his, umm, appendage, (that’s a good word) was pressed against the shoes she had worn to a party as he, well, pleasured himself. He could feel the shoe, but didn’t want to draw attention to himself by moving around so he left it. As an adult he makes sure his women wore shoes in bed with him because it takes him back to those good feelings.
Another guy said the very first time he was with a woman as he, uhh, reached climax, he could feel her nails raking down his back so hard he could feel blood as he lay on her catching his breath. Yet, even though it was painful, it felt good to him and he is turned on by women with long nails.
You may find these to be a little weird or freaky or maybe sensual. I don’t know. This is not psych 101 by the hands of Dana Littlejohn, by no means. This info came first hand from talking to several, close to fifty men over the age of 30. ( I told them it was a survey for school, sexual psychology or something. LOL) So with this new nothing I came to the conclusion that…men are strange! Kidding! Seriously, fetishes can derive from anything and whether they are freaky or sensual depends on your taste.
I also decided that the passion that some men spoke of their fetishes led me to do a story on one. So this December coming from Phaze is my fetish story, Happy Feet. Be sure to check it out! Until next time…Dana has left the building!

Been gone for awhile, I'm baaaack!
Hello anyone who is listening.
This summer was a little rough for me. I had some serious offline life changes that took me in a little tailspin, but that God I am on the road to recovery. Anyway, my nuse took a hit as well, but it is flowing again and I am back at my computer.
I am hard at work on several stories, it just depends on which way my mind turns that day. Here's a peek at them:
Ming Bling is an I/R, BW/AM It's about what the wife does when she feels like her husband doesn't find her attractive anymore.
Book 1 in my cop series, Bad Boys, I/R, HW/BM, called Shooters Secret. Its a shifter romance about a cop who saves a woman and finds it was always his destiny to be with her.
What a ride! I/R, BW/HM, about the amazing things that can happen when you are commuting from New York to Connecticut.
My next release is in December. It is called Happy Feet. Look for it at Phaze. Here's the blurb.
Kerri felt like Cinderella as her birthday arrived and a pair of shoes sat waiting at her door, but she had no Prince Charming to speak of. She had planned to thank her friend for the gift, but later found she did have a Prince waiting in the wings. And, not only did he want to slide the shoe onto her foot to see if it fit, he had plans to do so many other wonderful things to her feet.

Please welcome author Denyse` Bridger to my house!
Things sensual and romantic….
Italy… Sensuality… Food… Romance – if you think about it, they’re all the same in many respects, aren’t they? Each resonates within us on some level…. They appear to go together, don’t they? And, in truth, I suppose they do. You seldom have one without the other close to the heart. But, what is sensual, and what isn’t? Depends on where you are in this world and what you’re doing.
So, I thought maybe we’d chat about what people term “sensual foods” and see where that takes us! Hey, we all eat, don’t we? So, is it the food that is the magic, or is it the company we share while we go through this necessary to life exercise every day? Repeatedly.
A lot of foods are labelled as being “aphrodisiac” in nature. How can foods be “love potions” some people wonder? And why do they have such potent response in some, while others feel nothing when these exotic delights are consumed? Think maybe it’s the company and the psychological excitement that might make them wildly exciting for some and totally empty of reaction in others?
In countries like Italy, food is not just something to be eaten so we can get on with life. It’s an art, a social occasion, and an experience to be shared. It’s a well-accepted fact that the people of this amazing country have a zest for life that many of us envy, and their passion for “la dolce vita” is something we can probably all learn from. But, food and festival in Italy is a way of life – if you have any doubts, just look around and see the number of feast and festival days in any year!
We associate this country, in fact all things Italian, with romance. So much of the attitude is sensual and passionate, and very romantic. An entire culture that is built on the foundation that life is to be embraced and enjoyed, that romance is most important thing in the world, and the richness of life is to be shared by all. I don’t know about you, but I find that very sexy, very compelling, and very, very alluring…
If your dinner is one on one, chances are it’s a special occasion. Do you actually notice what you eat, or are you feeding off the company you’re in, and sawdust would taste good at that moment? Is it the music, always beautiful and classically romantic, is the gorgeous countryside, or is it really the food that makes the whole thing such a sensory delight?
And why is this “passion” so different for all of us? Not hard to see where my heart lies in all this, but what do YOU find sensual in the foods you eat the dreams you keep close to your heart? I’d love to know!! I write in more genres than I can count, and my books reflect eclectic tastes in all things, so if you’re interested in finding out more, please drop by my website and check out some titles…. If you want to read my very first book set in Italy, Rome to be precise, it’s currently on sale at the steal price of 99¢ - it’s a sweet, sensual, lyrical romance inspired by the song of the same name, and you can get it here:

2 great reviews for Cairo!
Cairo Ivory is a beautiful woman with a flair for dating the wrong men. The last mishap was two years ago, and large enough to sink the Titanic. Cairo changes her focus to only encompass her career as an attorney. And while that redirected energy has helped her gain a spectacular record of wins it didn’t warm Cairo’s bed. After years of working divorce cases, Cairo has decided that a relationship really isn’t worth the trouble until she meets Jose. Sex, lies, and crazy ex-wives seem to be lurking around every corner.
Will Jose be able to vanquish Cairo’s attitude in regards to marriage? With the rising of the sun comes the possibility for a new beginning.
Dana Littlejohn is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. The Sun Rose Over Cairo is a story about love and healing. Jose was in an abusive marriage with a wigged-out wife. He had to learn the hard way that “I do” can just be the means to an end for some people. Jose is handsome and shy with a body to make you weep for joy. Top that off with brains and no woman stands a chance of escaping his natural allure and charms. Cairo is blessed to have a friend who recognizes her needs and won’t let her caution distract her from getting to know Jose. I believe in her heart she really wanted someone she could love and feel safe with, but the characters from her past dampened her resolve to fight for the “happily ever after”. This book has more twists than a rollercoaster ride. You don’t just get sex that can pop your toenails off. You gain a bit of suspense, humor, and the opportunity to watch karma in action. I’m only hoping that Ms. Littlejohn will bring back some of the other characters for their own novels. If you like romance with a twist, you won’t be disappointed with The Sun Rose Over Cairo.
Reviewed by: NeNe
Simply Romance Grade: AThe Sun Rose Over Cairo was a novel that made you think that this could so happen to someone in real life. Ms. Littlejohn's characters could have easily been any group of friends and the hilarious things they go through on a daily basis. I can really relate to knowing someone nicknamed "Pumkin" that has a first name that makes most people say, "Huh?" The gradual romance between Jose and Cairo started out as friends and then progressed to lovers who I thought would stand the test of marriage and become one of the "Old Marriages" that lasted "until death do us part." I so enjoyed the characters in this book that I hope to see what happens to the other women in their quest to find Mr. Right. ~Reviewed by Shira

Hot Chocolate warms a Diva!
Hot Chocolate On A Cold Day by Dana Littlejohn
Summary: Are you up to Hot Chocolate on a cold day? Lizette Moreno is a stay at home computer tech. Her friends chipped in to send her on a ski weekend for her birthday making her promise to try some new things. While enjoying a hot toddy by the fire she is informed that her sleeping arrangements have been compromised and finds herself in bed with Dante Roberts. Could Lizette muster up enough guts to make Dante the first new "thing" she tries?
My Review: Very good book, quick read, fast paced, I really liked the interaction between main characters, from the moment Lisa sees Dante until the last word. I do have to say this is one of better erotic scenes that I have had the opportunity to read. It is not the average run of the mill, wham, bam, thank you ma'am scenarios. I liked the way Ms. Littlejohn was able begin the love making, hot and sexy and yet at the same time funny and embarrassing. I really loved how lisa took control. Hot, sexy and totally what I would want if I could get some “Hot Chocolate on a Cold Day!”
Dante and Lisa fit together because they are so wonderfully sweet and yet sexy together. I have to say all and all a satisfying and just all around good read. So I have to give it.

Take a look at Asian Spice
Taniea is dumped by her boyfriend for being too bold, too aggressive and too mouthy. Throwing herself into her new job she traveled to China and met Michael Shen. She convinced him that a fling while she was in his country would be time well spent for them both. Would two weeks of Taniea be too much for Michael to handle or will he leave everything he knows to have a thousand more with her?
Taniea Onyx is a tough but feminine corporate executive, destined for great things. Tired of all the playing, and just dumped by a chauvinistic idiot who was threatened by her success, she was completely bowled over when she was passed up for one promotion, only to be given an even greater opportunity by her boss. Being recognized that way made up for a lot, and the trip to China for training, and a hot affair with her most desirable host and liaison really was a boost to her spirits. Michael Shen was a great lover, tender, compassionate, demanding her best but treating her as an equal. Neither Taniea nor Michael had experienced such a give and take before, and it was a great and an unexpected bonus to Michael. Would they find a way to make things work? Will Taniea give up all to stay with Michael?
Well, dear hearts, if you want the answers to these and other questions, head on over to Phaze and pick up your copy of Asian Spice and find out who does what in the end. It is a book that will likely end up on your keeper shelf, and one you won’t put down till it’s done. Dana Littlejohn hits the mark with Asian Spice. It is a hot little number from Dana Littlejohn, and a very enjoyable read.

Overall rating: 5 hearts

Reviewer: Margo Arthur
The Romance Studio
Taniea was a feisty heroine, one who saw what she wanted and went for it. She did this in both her personal and professional life. DeMarcus could not handle this but Michael may be just the one who can. If only he did not live so far away. Michael also found Taniea to be exciting and sexy but the distance between their homes and jobs made it impossible. Is there any hope for a long-term relationship? Pick up Asian Spice to find out and be prepared to be delighted and entertained by Taniea and Michael. Dana Littlejohn has penned a tale guaranteed to get our attention and ignite our senses. A little spice goes a long way in Dana Littlejohn's Asian Spice, a short, sexy, and hot novella.
Genre: contemporary
Reviewer at ecartaromance: Elise Lyn
Sensuality Rating: Sultry
Star Rating: 4 Stars
Asian Spice is a romantic story of what happens when a woman meets a real man who accepts her as his equal. I was a bit shocked by Taniea’s boldness at times but I loved the fact that she didn’t change to try and keep a man. Michael surprised me in the end, but definitely in a good way. As a couple they, they were hotter than summer in Las Vegas, and a perfect balance. Dana Littlejohn has written another scorcher.

Finally made it!
It seemed like everyone I knew had a blog but me. So here I am in blogland. Hmm, I guess the reason why I didn't have one because I didn't know what to put on a blog. I still don't but I'm am going to copy ideas from other great authors who have blogs until I figure it out. LOL
I will start with current events.
Since it is still early in 2009 I will update you on all that has occurred this year.
January
I accepted a contract from Freya's Bower for my short story, It's good to be Number Three. It will be an ebook. I also accepted a contract for my short story Blaze's Black Widows. It will come in the print anthology, Street Vices, coming Spring 2009 to TakeOver Publications.
I had two release from Red Rose Publishing:
The Last MacPhee
Patrick MacPhee had lost everything: his family, his home, and the love of his life. He was the only one to survive the massacre of his family. During the long wait to avenge them he met Charlene and fell in love. With love in his life again he hesitates to do the duty he has patiently waited over a hundred years to do. Will Charlene be the loophole that will allow him to have love and revenge?
The god's silver connection
Loki has stolen an amulet from Tyr, the god of war. Odin sent Thor to Midgard to retrieve his brother and bring him back for punishment. In Midgard, Loki is hiddsen in the mind of Lord Tyrone Barrington. Dr. Keith Hammer is owner of Hammer Inc. He was chosen to be the host for Thor while he was in Midgard. The humans are caught up in the fight of good ~vs~ evil between the gods. The gods are along for the ride while the humans fight for the formula that will make their companies grow. Who will come out on top when all the fighting is done?
That's January. Just wait until you what happens in February!
See ya then!
