About William Le Queux. His father, also William of Chateauroux, Indre, was a French draper's assistant and his mother was English. He was educated in Europe and studied art under Ignazio Spiridon in Paris. He walked extensively in France and Germany and supported himself for a time writing for French newspapers. It was one of his sensational stories in 'The Petit Journal' that attracted the attention of the French novelist Emile Zola and it was supposedly he who encouraged Le Queux to become a full-time writer.
In the late s he returned to London where he edited the magazines 'Gossip' and 'Piccadilly' before joining the staff of the newspaper 'The Globe' in as a parliamentary reporter. But he resigned in and decided to abandon journalism to concentrate on writing and travelling.

On his travels he found it necessary to become an expert revolver shot. His first book was 'Guilty Bonds' , which concentrated on political conspiracy in Russia to such a degree that it was subsequently banned in that country. A series of short stories 'Strange Tales of a Nihilist' followed in and from then on he was producing books on a regular basis until his death, and beyond, as a number of posthumous works were published.
His works mainly related to espionage activity and it was said that he was employed for a number of years as a member of the British Secret Service, where he was an expert on wireless transmission. He stated at one time that he began writing to help finance his work for British Intelligence for whom he was required to undertake much travelling and to make personal contact with royalty and other high-ranking people.
He recorded some of the latter meetings in his autobiography entitled 'Things I Know about Kings, Celebrities and Crooks' He was also a keen collector of medieval manuscripts and monastic seals. However, all his activities did not stop him turning out novel after novel and at the time of his death he had well over books to his credit. Works of Sara Jeannette Duncan 11 Works.
