Question:

An accomplished author wants to use my story in his *new* book on paranormal events,what do I get besides??--?

having the glory of my story being within his 1st chapter of his book??
He emailed me stating he was very intrigued by my account/read my ghost story online (from 1999).
Can I charge him cash (if I agree)???
I mean what if I want to write my own book on supernatural accounts/studies someday?
I'd like to get something out of my own work.

I don't particuliarly 'need' to have my story told through him. As I'd want some kind of compensation for my own writings.
I write all the time,--who knows what idea's I'll have in the future for my own stuff ...
