Words from a gonzoesque life in an oh so gonzoless world

Surprise! Bones of Gold, a Portrait of Nel Hoon, Available on Amazon July 21!!!

A little surprise release!

Surprise!!! After quietly working behind the scenes for years, I’m so excited to finally announce that Bones of Gold, my biographical portrait of Nel Hoon, will be available on Amazon July 21!!! ✌️💚🤘

Bones of Gold is available to preorder for Kindle now on Amazon HERE

Bones of Gold is a portrait in time of a woman far more complex than her “Keep it Simple” way of life suggests. Through memory and reflection, this biography by Melodie Yvonne is woven together from late night stories, 90s nostalgia, and tales from a life well lived. This biographical memoir traces Nel Hoon’s early struggles and her resilience as a mother, while also offering a snapshot of the life and roots that shaped her son, Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon, into the artist he became.

Nel’s story offers a glimpse behind the scenes of the glitz and glamour of the music industry, and takes an honest look at how quickly life can turn on a dime. Bones of Gold is a story of loss, survival, devotion, and the quiet strength behind a life often overlooked… where love and hardship are held together in the same breath, and legacy is carried on in both silence and song.
