This is an actual email I got that for some dumb reason I find absolutely hilarious.
I haven't altered what she said, I just added my own comments in blue.

Hello Mr. Miller!
While surfing the QVC website yesterday, I discovered that you have written
my novel!! This apparently is very exciting. For some reason, probably a clerical
data entry error, you are listed as the author of my novel, Seasons of Forgetting,
which is nestled among your books on the "More Books by Frank Miller" link.
I used to have a link here to the incorrect listing, but it seems they've finally
corrected this travesty. I have called QVC in an attempt to get this resolved and
put the book under my authorship, but so far it has not happened. I have also
written asking the same thing.
If you have any pull at QVC or know a human being to contact there,
perhaps
you can effect the change. A reasonable assumption,
because how could
Frank not know every single retailer that carries his work?
I'm sure you don't
want a romantic novel credited among your other masterpieces
of a very different
genre.masterpieces of a very different genre That's her polite way of saying
'I don't want my obviously superior work lumped in with your little comic books,
that, I'm sure you're quite proud of.'
Thanks for anything you can do!
Cordially,
Jeanne Rubba Smith
