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.
