    Welcome to the Forum, Rita.

    Susan's book is a great read - I've read it 7 times because it's like being with her. I carry it with me when I know I'll be killing time waiting - like a doctor's office - plus people ask about her and that gives me a chance to talk her up. Can't wait for the next one!

    Question for anyone who went to the musical - was there any mention in the printed program notes of Susan's autobiography? If so, that might encourage sales of the book among those who want to know more about her.

    I thought Susan's Autobiography with her CD's and Elaine C. Smith's Autobiography were For Sale in the Lobby!

    There was NOTHING on sale at the Bristol venue - waste of an opportunity there.

    Only Elaine's book was on sale in Newcastle, but in Dublin they were selling both Elaine and Susan's books, plus all three of Susan's CDs. Regarding the programme for the musical, I cannot lay my hand on it at the moment, but I remember that there was mention of "another autobiography", which would indicate that they also mentioned the first one.

    Had a quick look, Moll, there's a brief mention of the first book on page 11 (the pages are not numbered), then on page 12, "a fourth album (is) in the wings and a second autobiography charting her remarkable life story...Susan shows no sign of slowing down."

    So good to see this great book still finding its way into people's homes. A truly fine piece of writing about a truly fine lady.

    So glad you checked in, Rita. Hope to see you lots more here.

    "I used to say there was no way I would ever get to hear Susan live or meet her and I was OK with that, but when the possibility appeared, I just bit the bullet and went for it and I will be eternally glad I did.
