Dear Oprah,
In case you're feeling a bit gunshy after your ordeal with James Frey's Million Little Pieces, I'd like to assure you that my upcoming novel, Eyes of Crow (Luna Books, November 2006), a story about a young woman whose Guardian Spirit has given her the power to foresee the approach of death, is 100% Fiction. Though we have the same color hair and share a deep and abiding love for cheese, Rhia and I are not the same person. Your unabashed praise for it on the Larry King Show (if you feel so inspired) will never come back to bite you in the ass.Please let me know to what address I should send the novel and whether I should inscribe it to "Oprah" or "Ms. Winfrey." Have a splendid day, ma'am.
Love, Jeri

I would love to feature your completly fiction book in my book club. Lord knows I need something to shore up my reputation after that last fiasco. Ah, are there any characters based on real people? No George W. Bush satires. Can't be too careful these days.
Sincerely,
Ms. WInfrey
(OK, really Cecilia)

And Oprah, I assure you that no characters are based on real people. Except the really beautiful, svelte, brilliant best friend of the heroine, a character whom I named Opruh.
