Stupid book deal of the day

From Publishers Marketplace:
Diana Killian's CORPSE POSE, three books in a new yoga mystery series, to Sandy Harding at Berkley Prime Crime, by Jacky Sach at BookEnds (World).
On the one hand, I think, great, finally somebody is making fun of those stupid names for yoga poses. Corpse Pose indeed.

On the other hand, the fact that this is just a cynical attempt at exploiting a fad -- three books in "a new yoga mystery series" -- is disgusting. You think they have mysteries about, oh, I don't know, jogging? If the publishing world in the mid-70s had been like the publishing world today, then they would have. The Jogging Mysteries!
