I re-contacted SFX and the EDP to try and persuade them to give me a book review. SFX responded that they do not review books from small publishing houses or self published authors. There's that brick wall again!
However SFX have a forum for new authors called 'pimp my book' so I will get on that and start pimping.
I am more hopeful with the EDP as I may be of local interest to them - not had reply yet -we shall see.
I have now entered the 21st century as the book is being sold as an Ebook and on Kindle. Unfortunately it has been uploaded incorrectly and is in normal text only - all italics have disappeared. The italics are essential for the meaning so hopefully this will be corrected before anyone buys it.
I am on week 20 already! Still spending loads of time trying to promote the book.
Lesson number 3 - unless you have a lot of time don't try to publish your own book. Also be prepared for the long haul.
