Signed Copies – Two Ways to Get Yours!
I know how special a signed book can be, but with international tariffs (thanks, Brexit & US shipping fees), the costs have become less than ideal. So, I’ve created two options to make sure every reader can still get something personal from me!
For the Hardcore Fans: Get a signed copy, personally dedicated by me, Alice Rose McQueen, shipped straight from the EU. Shipping is $30,00 (30,00€)* + the book price.
For the Cost-Conscious Readers: Buy your own copy and I’ll send you a personalized, signed dedication card to place inside—along with a gift bookmark! This option keeps shipping at just $5,00 (5,00€)*.
No matter which option you choose, I’m so grateful for your love! 🖤
* Prices may vary slightly based on shipping fees.

ABOUT LEWIS MARTIN
Lewis Martin is a French director, screenwriter, cinematographer, novelist, publisher, and visual artist with more than 35 years of creative work across film, television, and books. He has directed hundreds of TV episodes as well as commercials, music videos, and narrative films—bringing a distinctly cinematic sense of rhythm, atmosphere, and visual storytelling to everything he creates.
He is an Academy Award–qualified filmmaker: his short film Talking Dog For Sale, 10 Euros (distributed by Canal+) was shortlisted for the 85th Academy Awards®. Since 2018, he has been part of the directorial team on the long-running French series Plus Belle La Vie.
In publishing, Lewis is the founder of Monumental Books and the publisher of urban fantasy author Alice Rose McQueen, whose vampire series has built a devoted readership. As an author, he writes across genres, from page-turning thrillers to classic-inspired mysteries. His cosy mystery series Petits Meurtres entre Dames follows journalist-photographer Violette Darc in 1950s France; the first novel, Meurtre sur le tapis rouge, is scheduled for publication in Q1 2026. Several of his titles have reached Amazon Top 10 positions.
Lewis is also a street artist and pop-art painter whose work has been exhibited in international galleries, extending his storytelling to the canvas through bold, graphic imagery—an influence that also leads him to design many of his own covers and posters.
His short film Talking Dog For Sale, 10 Euros, distributed by Canal+, was shortlisted for the 85th Academy Awards®. Since 2018, he has been part of the directing team on the long-running French series Plus Belle La Vie. Upcoming projects include BOOKER, a high-stakes thriller set in the fashion world, and Lex Africana, billed as the first French martial arts TV series, co-produced by Canal+ and Mediawan.
A Scottish lord by marriage, Lewis divides his time between France and Scotland—an ongoing source of inspiration for the worlds, characters, and secrets he loves to put on the page. He is a father of four, and when he isn’t writing, filming, or painting, he’s usually being supervised by his three Chihuahuas—Ramona, Chiquita, and Escobar.
