Thanks for visiting Dubberley.com. This site is designed to help people keep up with my current activities, including books, events and marketing projects. It’s also the easiest way to check out some of my previous work, buy my books, read about any forthcoming TV and radio appearances and find out my current availability for projects.
Consultancy
I’m very excited to be working with the wonderful Tickled Erotic Boutique, writing copy for the website, arranging promotions, planning masterclasses and helping people find the perfect toy (or indeed, condom, lube or Kegel toner) to suit their needs. It’s only the beginning but we’ve got a lot of exciting things planned, so if you have a new toy you’re looking to launch, sexpert you want to promote, boudoir accessory you think every couple should own or book that you think we should stock, drop me a line. We’re open to creative ideas of all kinds (except pervy requests) so if you have an idea that isn’t listed above that you think could work with the shop, get in touch.
Experimental Events
I’m also helping organise Brighton Science Festival 2012, which kicks off on 11th Feb. Shows include:
The Science of Magic: Award-winning magician, Leon Simmonds, joins forces with some of the UK’s top mentalists, magicians and cabaret stars to explain the science of magic, and teach you a few new tricks of your own.
The Chewy, Gummy Physics Funfair: Food, but not as you know it – cakes you can inhale; Miracle berries that bemuse your taste-buds making sour taste sweet
Monkey Butlers and Voices of the Dead: Science historian and therematrix Sarah Angliss and neo-Victorian hip-hop raconteur Professor Elemental invite you into their world of Edison phonographs, ventriloquist’s dummies, badgermingos, flying machines and other marvels.
Make It! Crochet a coral reef. Turn towels into dinosaurs. Create pencil cases out of plastic bags with Sew Retro. Make Fibonacci-inspired quilts with Quilty Pleasures. Eat the periodic table as created by Brighton Belles WI and enter a scientific cake competition with fabulous prizes for adults and children alike.
Festival of the Spoken Nerd: Join stand-up mathematician Matt Parker, musical comedian Helen Arney and experiments guy Steve Mould as they delve deep into the mathematical wonders of the universe, in a variety show for the fearlessly inquisitive. Expect science, comedy, music, maths, time for questions at the end and extra marks for showing your workings.
There are lots more shows too – visit the Brighton Science Festival website for full listings. You can also keep up to date with all the latest news by following @brightonscience on Twitter.
A Book at Bedtime?
Writing books is still my main passion. The Arousal Box, is the latest addition to the Book in a Box series and came out on November 14th 2011. If you’re stuck for ideas for Valentine’s presents and/or want to learn a whole load of seduction techniques that use every sense, buy a copy.
I’ve also just finished writing The Field Guide to Fucking for the US market which comes out in June, but I’ll fill you in more about that one nearer the publication date.
I’m now working on my 24th book, for publication next year, but am currently available for commissions.
Flicking the Pages
I write for various magazines and websites, including Cosmopolitan, More and TheSite. I’ve also got a regular column in Erotic Trade Only (the UK trade title for the erotic industry) writing about the latest toys, sexual health products and general adult trade news.
Should you require writing of a less sexy variety, my other specialisms include urban gardening, homecrafts. popular science, books and general lifestyle.
Fun and Games
In my spare time, I run the Forest of Thoughts, which launched earlier this year at the Playgroup Festival. Highlights included EEG music and visuals created by brain waves, Hammer and Tongue poetry slamming and talks on everything from the cultural history of jelly to the Hilton Sisters (Brighton’s own Siamese twins). It was so succesful that Forest of Thoughts has now evolved into an arts and science network, involving everyone from chap hop masters to close up magicians, corsetiers to mad scientists. Follow all the latest news on Twitter @ForestofThought
I also run Groweatgift.com, a guide to urban gardening with ‘how to’ guides to all things grow-your-own, gardening offers, recipes to use your home-grown produce and gift ideas that can either be made for your garden, for gardener friends or from the fruit, vegetables and herbs that you grow. And yes, surprise, surprise, you can follow it on Twitter @groweatgift. (NB: There’s not a lot going on at the moment because it isn’t peak growing season quite yet but expect more updates soon).
