      Autobiography, "Living Like a Runaway", released in print on March 1, 2016 (CD version to be released later). The introduction was written by her good friend Dee Snider, with whom she has frequently shared a concert-stage; for this reason, and to Lita's delight, fans have affectionately nicknamed her "Twisted Sister's Twisted Sister".
