Gangnam meet PAC-12

I don't really know how ads get queued for YouTube, but when I watched this Gangnam video (which BTW is FABULOUS) it was preceded by a PAC-12 commercial urging DirectTV customers to complain to DirectTV for not accepting the PAC-12 network's terms to carry it on DirectTV and offer the new TV channel to its subscribers. I'm a Time-Warner gal and LOVE the new PAC-12 network (when Time-Warner is functioning, that is, having endured 2 lapses in the past week). Obsessed with the PAC-12 Network, actually. What's not to love?

The juxtaposition of the PAC-12 ad selling this upcoming weekend's SC vs Cal game and the cowboy style Gangnam prancing is a match made in heaven, rolling School Spirit and HipHop Dancing into one glorious, glamorous package. How long will it be before one of the PAC-12 bands incorporate Gangnam into one of their halftime performances? Not too long I hope. Until then, Fight on!

Murder in the Secret Maze

A Tory Benning Mystery #1

Synopsis

First in a new series featuring California landscape architect Tory Benning!

Landscape architect Tory Benning knows the lay of the land, but she’ll have to dig through the clues to unearth a killer . . .

After a whirlwind romance and a glorious wedding at the luxurious Hotel Santa Sofia, Tory Benning is ready to let down her hair, slip into her dancing shoes, and celebrate—until she discovers that her newly minted husband has vanished. The police suspect cold feet and second thoughts are behind Milo’s disappearance, but Tory’s certain he’s met with foul play. And since she designed the plush resort, she knows every nook and cranny of the grounds and adjoining secret maze, and wastes no time delving into her search.

As clues begin to emerge that Milo may have taken his last breath in the maze, Tory steps up her sleuthing, even as she learns she’s the prime suspect of a cop with a chip on his shoulder and is squarely in the sights of a menacing stalker. And when a second body is found on the grounds, Tory fears she’s up against a killer determined to silence any and all who get in the way.

Not to be deterred, Tory forges ahead, navigating a case with more twists and turns than the maze itself, until the labyrinth of clues leads her to shocking revelations about her husband, her family, and the identity of a killer who’s dead set on making her the next victim . . .

FRIGHT ON!

A Pac-12 Conference Mystery: #1 USC

Synopsis

Feeling she’s too old to become a ballerina or a rock star, empty-nester psychologist Kendra Madison decides to put her research skills to good use solving crime so she volunteers for the LAPD. But she finds she doesn't need to go any further than her own backyard to spice up her ho-hum life when her husband Mark, a University of Southern California dean, becomes the prime suspect in the murders of two of his fellow deans. Kendra embarks on a quest to prove Mark's innocence, leading her all over Los Angeles, from the ritzy enclaves of the Westside to the grittier hoods near the USC campus. Alternately channeling Bridget Jones and Homeland's Carrie Mathison, Kendra eliminates red herrings one by one. Along the way she stumbles upon a university coverup and scandal that could rock USC to its very core. But even worse, the more clues she discovers, the more she wonders whether her husband might be guilty after all.
