Unsung designers and hurt feelings but no results!

My search for permission to publish from Origami Authors is going incredibly badly. Today I received such an upsetting email from Valerie Vann's once press agent stating that she was so deeply hurt by her work being use without permission commercialy that she has ask that she no longer be contacted by anyone. So the Magic Cube Rose go unnoticed and unincluded.
This both upsets me and frustrates me for how can credit be given where credit is due, and even payment is due when it is impossible to reach Origami Authors? Roman Diaz has also failed to reply to me which is a shame because I think his exceptional work should be drawn attention to and it may reach a wider audience if it were included, in particular I want to include his Puppy and Rooster models.
Kiyo Yoshizawa I totally understand, she is an elderly woman and speaks no English so why would she have an email. So I am hoping a Japanese friend can send her a short request by post and be so kind as to let us celebrate her late husband's Rose in the publication.
My search is going too slowly for how fast the publisher needs results. I'm looking for simple yet effective designs beyond the traditional that would appeal to adults that haven't tried origami before. If anyone who is an great origami designer is reading this and would like me to look over their designs to see if there's anything I can put to the publisher please pop your website and email down. I don't know what the publisher is willing to pay. We are mainly sticking to traditional designs in the public domain but there's room for 2-3 from named Authors.....if I can actually get intouch with any.
