Crocodile Tears and Other Not Quite True Tales
By Carly Gail
()
About this ebook
Crocodile Tears and Other Not Quite True Tales is a tangle of tales of adventure and environment, inner demons and conflict, often on the verge of self-mocking.
It is full of tales of living in a tropical paradise; a meeting of four challenged first-time writers and their adventures and stories of snows, the skies, the earth and the air; a distressed person’s account of having to make it through one restless night; a journal written by an anxious observer during a week of surrounding wildfire; two new colleagues sniffing each other out while trying to impress; ramblings of day to day while somebody tries to decipher the meaning of long hidden, but now found, doodles/figures on a scrap of paper; and, finally, a tale of two deeply personal and meaningful lives – life is finally catching up.
I’m sure some buttons will be pushed, but don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Carly Gail
After being born during a dry heat wave in South Australia, Carly has lived in many places in Australia and New Zealand, from snow and ice, to the temperate and the tropics; and worked in many jobs from designer/illustrator, to dishwasher, to the emergency services. She now lives with many cherished animals on the coast of South Eastern Australia.

Sarah Nguyen, a MLIS student at the University of Washington, is the project coordinator of Preserve This Podcast, a project and podcast of the same name that proposes solutions to fight against the threats of digital decay for podcasts. Alongside archivists Mary Kidd and Dana Gerber-Margie, and producer Molly Schwartz, Nguyen advocates for Personal Digital Archiving, the idea that for the first time, your data is under your control and you can archive it to inform future history.
