I remember when Danielle Steel first started writing she spelled her last name as Steele, and later dropped the E. But I have not looked at her books on the list.

Haiden SP. and Torie Haiden snip>> The correct spelling for this author is "Torey Hayden" and as an author the name is without the middle initial for most (but not all) her books and the copyright holder is with the middle initial. Right now she's listed as the author with the middle initial only but both the book I submitted yesterday and the ones I have to scan have the author name without the middle initial and the copyright with the initial. I don't know what this means for the listing but they are different depending on date of publication and publisher.
