Vera Boldis, Dee Dee Ramone’s first wife, has finished working on her autobiography “Poisoned Heart: I Married Dee Dee Ramone (The Ramones Years)”. The book will be released on July 2009 by “Phoenix Books” under the author pseudonym Vera Ramone King.

Dee Dee and Vera were married for 17 years (1978—1995). She knew him the best as nobody else as a rash, violent, insane, but at the same time as a talanted, hardworking, generous and loving man.

It will be illustrated with more than 50 unpublished before pictures by famous rock-photographers Bob Gruen and Keith Green.
