Pumpkin just liberated a ginger cookie from a tub (TJs ginger cats, no less.) Didn't eat it but, still.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

I would doubt it in this case, Jilli, not with a small indie press. You can certainly ask for credit, though, and then promote the book with your intro.
That's what I figured. But hey, a chance to witter about one of my favorite little-known-books!

Because books.

Exactly. It's something to add to your resume, too.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That's cool, Jilli, even if there isn't money attached.

I'm going to ask them if it's possible to send me the early files for the ebook, so I can reread it without damaging my elderly paperback even more.

There should also be some comp copies coming to you for your work on an intro, I'd think. Enough to give copies to your best & beloved, anyway.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yay -- I was afraid I was going to spend this morning in a three-hour budgeting meeting, but no! My boss is going. Phew.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So, you might remember (or you very well might not as it's not very interesting) that I was hearing the sound of rushing water in my kitchen and I was afraid I had a big leak somewhere. Long story short, it was pinprick hole in the copper tubing linking my faucet to the wall (I would have to draw a picture to properly explain how my faucet was hooked up, suffice it to say a previous owner was not big on using off-the-shelf parts) spraying against metal and sounding much bigger than it was and now I have a new kitchen faucet. No flooding, hooray!
I am so tempted to call in "plumbing emergency" to work, but I have stuff pending that would be easier to do in the office than on my couch, alas.
Cool on the intro, Jilli!

Also, the weather is doing that thing where I look out at what looks like a lot of fluffy snow falling and think, No way is this just the "coating to an inch" they said on the radio, but then I lean over to look at the ground, and the blacktop is still black.
