What's in a name?


The perceptive reader will have noticed in my first post the name I’ve chosen for this venture – Le Queux Miniatures.

I’ve thought long and hard about the name. It has to be unique. It has to reflect what I want to sell. My initial idea was “England Invaded”, but there is already a line of miniatures available from Warrior with this name (worth a look).

Le Queux, for those of you unfamiliar with late Victorian literature, was the author of 150 novels, with one, “The Invasion of 1910” selling over 1 million copies! His work is not going to win the Booker prize, but they are a fun read and full of scenarios for wargamers. Best of all you can get many of them free (my favourite word!) as Kindle downloads on Amazon or the Project Gutenberg website.
