After all of this time I had hoped that I might have found a publisher for the two books. However, it seems that most just have no interest.
Whether this is through fear of upsetting the established wildlife authors who have produced and written dogma for a century or not is unclear. The books are fully referenced and draw on the historical archives of contemporary naturalists who knew the foxes and wild cats first hand rather than some modern author who is totally unaware that the Scottish wild cat was extinct by 1897 (officially) or that there were three types of British fox originally. It is possible that some publishers have people higher up who are "friends of the hunt" so do not want to show the true facts.
The alternative to a British publisher would be one based in Europe or the United States that specialises in ground-breaking work on wildlife.
We'll see.
