I’m so excited to share this: The Salt In Our Hair is now available as an audiobook worldwide, on all major platforms.
Written by bestselling author Alice Rose McQueen (alicerosemcqueen), the book has been a real reader favorite — salty-sweet, sun-soaked, emotionally devastating in the best way. For our first incursion into the New Adult romance genre, we wanted a setting that felt like a character in itself, so we chose the south of France, and more specifically Biarritz — an Atlantic surf town full of light, wind, salt, grief, beauty, and late-summer longing. The kind of place where love hurts a little more… and means a lot more.
On a personal note, I’m proud to be releasing this under Monumental Books, my boutique publishing house based in Paris. Independent publishing means freedom, taste, and care — and the joy of building something meaningful, one story at a time.
For the audiobook, we couldn’t have asked for a better voice than Lori Felipe-Barkin — award-winning narrator, actress, and the iconic voice of Alex in Totally Spies!. Her performance brings Luna, Téo, and the ocean-soaked world of the novel vividly to life.
🎧 Available now on Audible, Apple Books, Google Play, and all major audiobook platforms
🎧 Also available on Spotify Audiobooks (availability and inclusion may vary by country and plan)
If you loved the book — or if you’re discovering it for the first time — the audiobook offers a whole new way to experience the story.
Ocean air, slow-burn romance, heartbreak, healing… and that feeling of summer that never quite lets you go.
As an independent publisher, I’m especially proud to see this story travel in another form and reach listeners around the world.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support independent books, independent voices, and stories that take their time.
