Know a writer or someone who wants to be a writer? Then forward this post to them and invite them to listen to our writers podcast. Thank you! Welcome to Episode 208 of our lovely award-winning podcast. Being a Monday, we were a day late and several brain cells short, but hey, we survived a sleepover with our young grandchild and we think we made an interesting episode. Business first: Finding Salvation Part One is still on pre-sale for 99 cents and will be released this Friday, January 31 (yay). On Sunday, February 2, which happens to be Groundhog Day, we'll be doing the cover reveal for ZOEY on the podcast. The reveal for two covers, that is. You'll see. Shameless plug: We are providing books for sale to this week's Sierra Arts Foundation fundraiser, Brew Ha Ha. This is a worthy cause, so please check it out if you're in the Carson/Reno/Sparks area. Writing: CC continues to see the light at the end of the railroad tunnel as she cleans up her “Virginia City Ghost” (working title) manuscript. She might send it out to the Betas in February. She may do her own book cover, too. Our main topic was writing in the Young Adult (YA) genre which is one of three very successful writing genres here in the Twenty-First Century (zombies and vampires being the others). CC and I happen to be reading YA books at the same time, so we're picking up common themes: -YA books are almost instantly relatable because we've all been there. -YA epiphanies hit harder. -There's a freshness in experiencing “real life” for the first time that jaded adults don't enjoy anymore. -Fifteen year old girls/women can be dramatically different than fifteen year old boys/men. We talk at length about these and other themes that can shape a YA novel, including poverty and religion. We use The Hunger Games and Pleasantville to illustrate our points, and we manage for the most part to avoid that boy wizard (you know who). Have a listen and let us know what you think. TIA LYL!

A new research paper was published on the cover of Aging (Aging-US) Volume 15, Issue 15, entitled, “Natural aging and ovariectomy induces parallel phosphoproteomic alterations in skeletal muscle of female mice.” The loss of skeletal muscle strength mid-life in females is associated with the decline of estrogen. In this new study, researchers Mina P. Peyton, Tzu-Yi Yang, LeeAnn Higgins, Todd W. Markowski, Kevin Murray, Cha Vue, Laurie L. Parker, and Dawn A. Lowe from the University of Minnesota questioned how estrogen deficiency might impact the overall skeletal muscle phosphoproteome after contraction, as force production induces phosphorylation of several muscle proteins. “Importantly, identification of these altered phosphosites and candidate kinases and phosphatases sensitive to the presence of estrogen will help advance our understanding of the contributions of estrogen deficiency to muscle strength loss in aging females.” Phosphoproteomic analyses of the tibialis anterior muscle after contraction in two mouse models of estrogen deficiency, ovariectomy (Ovariectomized (Ovx) vs. Sham) and natural aging-induced ovarian senescence (Older Adult (OA) vs. Young Adult (YA)), identified a total of 2,593 and 3,507 phosphopeptides in Ovx/Sham and OA/YA datasets, respectively. Further analysis of estrogen deficiency-associated proteins and phosphosites identified 66 proteins and 21 phosphosites from both datasets. Of these, 4 estrogen deficiency-associated proteins and 4 estrogen deficiency-associated phosphosites were significant and differentially phosphorylated or regulated, respectively. Comparative analyses between Ovx/Sham and OA/YA using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) found parallel patterns of inhibition and activation across IPA-defined canonical signaling pathways and physiological functional analysis, which were similarly observed in downstream GO, KEGG, and Reactome pathway overrepresentation analysis pertaining to muscle structural integrity and contraction, including AMPK and calcium signaling. IPA Upstream regulator analysis identified MAPK1 and PRKACA as candidate kinases and calcineurin as a candidate phosphatase sensitive to estrogen. “In summary, our results from contracted skeletal muscle highlight CAST Ser-82 as a candidate phosphosite, and MAPK1/ERK2, PRKACA, and calcineurin as candidate upstream regulators sensitive to estrogen deficiency that may contribute to changes in the force-generating capacity of skeletal muscle.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.204959 Corresponding author - Dawn A.

Author of the Murder Most Unladylike and Ministry of Unladylike Activity series, Robin Stevens knows a thing or two about writing murder mysteries. Her focus is on Young Adult (YA) fiction. Robin and host Rebecca Thandi Norman discuss the Poirot mystery Hallowe'en Party, why they keep coming back to it although they agree that it's not Christie's best work, and what makes a murder mystery appropriate for young adult literature. Robin also talks about how Christie inspires her own work, including Poirot as the inspiration for one of her detectives, Hazel Wong. She goes into the connection she feels with her young readers, how her series came about, and what she'll never do in her plots.

I Blerd (Black Nerd) out, with Mercedes Samudio, LCSW. We discussed how their work was selected to be part of Why Wakanda Matters, what term Oreo means and how it has impacted us both growing up as Blerd's. Mercedes and I discuss our varying connections and what they have meant for to see ourselves in the Nerd/Geek medias, especially Young Adult (YA). Where recognize some of the titles that are BIPOC centered. Which leads to a discuss of how Generational Trauma has appeared for us in the Nerd/Geek medias. As well as how this impact Mercedes work in creating Shame Proof and working with families to raise their children. As well as the Myths and realities about mental health.

We realized pretty quickly that we had NO IDEA what we were talking about with Spank Me, Mr. Darcy by Lissa Trever. None of us here at What The Smut had even read the original. We knew we needed some serious help! Enter Adrienne the Librarian, a long-time friend of Kandy's a brilliant librarian, and a Jane Austen SUPERFAN that loves Pride and Prejudice. Adrienne shared her experience with Pride and Prejudice, talked about Jane Austen like she is an old friend, shared what she would have been reading herself, discussed some of the customs and fashions of the regency period, and then gave you the BEST mostest Librarianest ever pile of book recommendations. All of which are linked below! What would Jane read? Pride and Prejudice inspiration The Gothic novel like The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole was all the rage back in Jane's day. You can see the influence in her gothic satire Northanger Abbey. Clarissa: Or the History of a Young Lady by Samuel Richardson which is the story of a young woman that escapes a marriage she doesn't want and ends up a sex slave. The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling by Henry Fielding which is a bawdy adventure in which a young man strikes out to the city. What would Elizabeth Bennet wear? As Adrienne pointed out and we have no doubt noted through the bajillions of Austen movies. Corsets were not really the thing during the Regency period. I found the idea that women would wet the inner layer of fabric on the dress amazing so I wanted more! I found two great online articles and one amazing book. First, check out Lithubs Tight Breeches and Loose Gowns. Then hop over to Fashion Era for a complete rundown of Regency dress and the dropping of the waistline. If you still need more you are going to want Dress in the Age of Jane Austen by Hilary Davidson. What to read if you love Pride and Prejudice? If you like Regency check out the Queen of Regency Georgette Heyer. For something a bit more smutty try Tessa Dares Regency novels. A recent trend is moving the plot of Pride and Prejudice to a different culture. Adrienne recommends Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors by Sonali Dev it's set around an Indian family in Canada. She loves Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith because you can actually forget you are not reading the original. Don't miss The Austen Project's Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld which is a thoroughly modern retelling that places Liz as a magazine writer and Mr. Darcy as a neurosurgeon. She offers a couple of awesome Young Adult (YA) options as well. Pride: A Pride & Prejudice Remix by Ibi Zoboi set in the Bronx and discussing cultural identity, class, and gentrification. Pride and Premeditation by Tirzah Price is a Private Eye mystery.
TKO Studios is the Criterion Collection of comic books. Every release is a blind-buy, and we try not to miss a one. As such, it's an incredible delight to have Editor-In-Chief Sebastian Girner and writer/artist Juni Ba on the show this week. TKO is making its first serious move into the Young Adult (YA) market with three new graphic novels: Djeliya, Scales and Scoundrels Book 1: Where Dragons Wander, and Scales and Scoundrels Book 2: The Festival of Life. All three are currently available, and we happily slap our CBCC seal of approval on them. Djeliya is the result of what happens when Cartoon Network seeps into a young boy from Senegal. It's a rich, gorgeous Afro-fantasy adventure that at once feels very familiar while also operating as an entirely original creation. In the future, you'll want to claim yourself as one of Ba's first fans. Get on the ground floor of this masterpiece today. Girner's Scales and Scoundrels collections are also fantasy quest adventures but of a totally different variety. They are the antidote to grimdark Game of Thrones wannabes. Girner and artist Galaad craft a warm, sunny saga that contains all the tropes you want from the genre but also a bright optimism sorely missing these days. Whether you've read the comics already or not, you're going to have a good time with this week's Creator Corner conversations. These two artists are stirring quality content, and the thought they bring to their stories is incredibly inspiring. You'll want to follow Sebastian Girner on Twitter HERE, as well as Juni Ba HERE. And, of course, purchase your copies of Djeliya and Scales and Scoundrels via TKO Studios' website HERE. Also, if you want to own Lisa Gullickson's first published piece of art, pre-order Weapon Echh over at 100% Comics HERE. Don't miss out on this parody tribute to BWS because it's Comic Book Couples Counseling history-in-the-making.

In this episode, Rob and Michelle discuss some novels from the Young Adult section that they recommend to anyone looking for a fast, engaging read. A novel is classified as Young Adult (YA) by a few metrics – you can expect that the motivations and the feelings of the characters will interact with problems in a different way than an adult novel. YA novels deal with problems in the immediate future, rather than thinking about long term goals and effects. Generally speaking, a YA novel will be less graphic than an adult novel, but modern YA does not shy away from the realities of the world. The pacing will be fast, the plot will be intriguing, and the characters will make you want to root for them. Materials mentioned in this episode are Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo; The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater; Places No One Knows by Brenna Yovanoff; Rotters by Daniel Krauss; Prom Date by Diane Hoh.

Introducing Matthew Ralph Matthew Ralph is our guest today on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots business podcast. He is a children's book author from the UK and not just that but an an award winning and number one best selling children's book author. He knows how to write a children's picture book and now helps the world to do the same. He actually wrote his first book on a plane, and turned it into a bestseller, with little to no money. As he says "I've always wanted to be a writer, even as a child I loved writing little stories and dreamt of having my own book published- a dream I'm still pursuing now at 25! I recently started writing a Young Adult (YA) fiction novel, which I am currently trying to finish and then (hopefully) get published! My ultimate dream is to be the next J K Rowling! Well with many books available in all good bookstores, and perhaps not very good ones too, he has achieved his aim and looks like the dream is coming true. So with so many unread manuscripts laying on publishers desks across the world, how did he bring his words to life? And was the hardest thing the doubts that parade in all our heads, or simply understanding the publishing progress> Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Matthew Ralph. Show Highlights During the show we discussed such deep subjects with Matthew Ralph such as: How he had managed to get his first book up and running purely as an activity to see how it all works. Why so many families are quite willing to critique "dreams" and be less supportive of the people closest to them. Matt shares how he muddled through and learnt the steps to publishing his own book. And lastly...... We talk about the process of developing yourself and positioning yourself to expert level where your value and prices grow exponentially.
Whip out your white party make-up and glitter, it's 'Twilight' time! Yes, you read that right, the Smug Book Club boys (or are we now men?) have focused their laser sharp wits on Stephenie Meyer's classic vampire novel. This work of Young Adult (YA) fiction is one of the most famous books of the last 20 years — and, potentially, ever — so the time was nigh to finally give it a read. Oh, and the fact Meyer also recently released another novel, 'Midnight Sun.' But we don't really cover that, so don't worry about it, okay? Anyhow... this wasn't the best novel the Smug Book Club manboys have ever read, but what do you expect? It is 'Twilight' after all. What it lacks in outright quality though, it makes up with discussion points. So, friend, join us on a magical journey where we look at important topics like: What happened in 2005 when the book was released Stephanie Meyer's influences Whether or not 'Twilight' is actually dangerous (and not in a cool way) Chuckling And much, much more See you on the other side, sparkly vampires.
Today we are joined by Preeti Chhibber. Preeti is a Young Adult (YA) author, speaker, and freelance writer, and co-hosts two podcasts as well. Fair warning, we definitely go to some nerdy places today but I promise there’ll be a lot in there for everyone. We talk about her new Yoda picture book and the connections between the force and eastern spirituality, we talk about representation both in modern fiction and in The Hindu pantheon, and we explore the way that representation affects not only those represented but also the rest of society as well.

Young Adult (YA) fiction is a literary tradition that has largely lacked diversity when it comes to the race and sexuality of its main characters. Author Arvin Ahmadi's new book, "How It All Blew Up," has a queer Iranian American teenager protagonist. He joins us this week to talk about how other authors of YA novels can be more inclusive of diverse communities and identities.
Jerald LeVon Hoover became the published author of a Young Adult (YA) title, one of a few books targeted toward young Black and Brown boys ages 12 and up, “My Friend, My Hero”. This novella has become a staple, as recommended reading in elementary through high schools across the country and around the world. According to BlackBoard African-American Booksellers, that is a distinct honor Hoover shares with a short list of African American male YA authors including: Walter Dean Myers, Kevin Powell, Kwame Alexander, Ralph Burgess, and Jason Reynolds. “My Friend, My Hero”, the first of four in a four book series Hoover calls, ‘The Hero Book Series' is celebrating its 25th Anniversary with a commemorative edition that includes an addendum of book discussion questions and now available; a full curriculum with a companion Student Success Guidebook, Teacher's Guide, and Unit Assessments containing lesson plans. The goal is to promote Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in the classroom by providing strategies for students to make better choices and gain much needed confidence to support and unleash their inner greatness. Hoover is an award winning author having written the four novellas of his acclaimed, The Hero Book Series with the word ‘hero' within each title by design. “My Friend, My Hero”, “He Was My Hero, Too”, “A Hopeful Hero”, and “Hoop Hero” all have meaning. Hoover states, “Exposing Black and Brown children to a barrage of negative imagery and expecting their positive self-image to remain intact is ridiculous, insensitive, and unfair.”

In his new Young Adult (YA) novel, “No Sad Songs,” author Frank Morelli explores youth caregiving through the character Gabe LoScuda, an eighteen-year-old thrust into the role of caregiver for his grandfather when tragedy strikes the family. Gabe's grandfather is a World War II veteran who has Pick's disease, a form of dementia similar to Alzheimer's. On the show, Frank tells us how watching his parents care for his own grandfather influenced the novel and about the deep impression left on him as a teenager witnessing the effects of his grandfather's dementia. He talks about the humor, poetry and baseball woven into the novel, and about its big theme of repaying a debt. When he's not writing Frank teaches eighth graders in Greensboro, North Carolina; although his goal with “No Sad Songs” was to connect with students everywhere on the issue of caregiving, he was especially pleased when one of his students arrived in class not with Frank's book but with a book of Robert Frost poems.

This is a story of three journeys, by three people, in three very different times. But each of the journeys ends in the same area in the west of Ireland. And each journey is founded on a search for a more perfect world, a search for utopia. Episode 18 (part one of a two-part episode on utopian literature) explores the utopia in fiction and in reality, in the past, present, and future. What is a utopia exactly and why do we create them? Are they idle dreaming, pointless thought experiments, fantasy worlds we can never reach? Or do utopias serve a more functional, political purpose: blueprints for a more perfect future? As this episode explores, utopian literature has taken many forms in its 500-year history, and the journey towards utopia is just as important as the destination itself. Utopian and Dystopian Fiction Utopian literature, however, has fallen out of favour in the last century or so. It has been largely abandoned in favour of the dystopia. From novels and TV shows like The Handmaid's Tale or Black Mirror, to Young Adult (YA) fiction such as The Hunger Games, dystopian fiction is a mainstay of popular culture today. Utopian Literature Today But there are still plenty of utopias being written today, if you know where to look. This episode takes us from Thomas More's foundational work, Utopia, first published in 1516, all the way to modern-day YA dystopias. From Edward Bellamy's 1888 best-seller Looking Backward to the novels of Margaret Atwood and Ursula LeGuin. But, of course, the utopia is a call to change the world and in this episode I also explore real-life attempts to create utopian communities: Ralahine, an early 19th-century experiment to establish a socialist co-operative, and the Cloughjordan Ecovillage in Tipperary. This modern-day intentional community is modelling a more co-operative and environmentally conscious way of living, at a time when the earth faces the profound problems associated with climate change.

Frank Portman is an author of two Young Adult (YA) novels King Dork and Andromeda Klein with a sequel to King Dork due in December. He also fronted the pop-punk band Mr T Experience over two decades. Assistant Producer Jeffrey Sprague spoke to him about the struggles of a touring band, riding the wave of Green Day, and how he was launched into one of his dream jobs, being a novelist.
Sixteen is a difficult age, lodged somewhere between childhood and adulthood. In 1755, young Noble Butler has just finished his apprenticeship as a carpenter, and he wants nothing more than to undertake more advanced training as a cabinetmaker (qualified to produce the beautiful furniture characteristic of prerevolutionary North America). But no one in Philadelphia will take him on as a prospective craftsman unless he can provide his own woodworking tools, and for that he needs cash. Noble has no money, and his father has a clear vision of his sons’ futures: expand the family farm and save craftsmanship for the off-season, when the family will need it to help the farm survive. But Noble has no desire to spend his life under Pa’s thumb. He sees a way out of his dilemma when Benjamin Franklin advertises for farmers to supply the troops fighting French and Lenapé warriors on the frontier. Presented with a moneymaking opportunity, Pa reluctantly agrees that Noble may volunteer and keep half his salary, so long as his older brother Enoch agrees to accompany the wagon. Pa doesn’t trust Noble, at sixteen, to bring horses, wagon, and cargo back safely. So Noble sets off along a war-torn trail that will test both his Quaker principles and his determination to define his own life, whatever his father’s plans for him may be. Janet Kastner Olshewsky‘s The Snake Fence (Quaker Bridge Media, 2013) is the first Young Adult (YA) novel to be featured on New Books in Historical Fiction.

Sixteen is a difficult age, lodged somewhere between childhood and adulthood. In 1755, young Noble Butler has just finished his apprenticeship as a carpenter, and he wants nothing more than to undertake more advanced training as a cabinetmaker (qualified to produce the beautiful furniture characteristic of prerevolutionary North America).
