Wow, I cannot thank Elliot Windmill enough for this wonderful interview he did with me about my book, “Craving Normal.” Here’s the interview.
US/Europe BOOK GIVEAWAY, beginning tomorrow. We’re each giving away one signed copy of my book, “Craving Normal.” Details on 4/27.
About Elliot, sometimes you just connect with people, no matter where you are in the world. I’m here in the U.S. and he’s in the U.K., but we have so many interests in common, we’ve become friends.
I “met” Elliot via Instagram, while I was pre-promoting my book. He was a big supporter and one of the first people to buy “Craving Normal,” and leave enthusiastic comments about it.
His curiosity and love of adventure is contagious.
Please read more of Elliot’s website. He writes out people he’s met while having adventures, near home and far away. They’re so much fun to read.

A writer I enjoy for his hilarious and interesting tales, George Mahood, shared my book on Facebook. I’m honored. I’ve enjoyed many of his books, and am now fascinated by his incredible story, “Operation Ironman.”

If you enjoyed “Daisy Jones and The Six,” you must have read Miss Pamela’s “I’m with the Band.” If you didn’t, you should.

Thoroughly, thoroughly, THOROUGHLY enjoyed Craving Normal! What an entertaining read!
As she recounts colorful stories from child to adulthood, spanning from the Bay Area, to Greece, Morocco, France, L.A., and everywhere in between, I could almost picture author Michele Miles Gardiner extending a hand out to me and saying, “Come with me! You won’t believe this!”
Your dad put a suicidal Santa on your roof?! You stood up a 13-year-old Rob Lowe?! You were scammed by members of a VERY FAMOUS band before they were famous?! It’s just too good!
Each chapter highlights a new adventure, some that might make you cry, some that might make you think, but MOST that will make you laugh. It’s as “comfort food” as a read as they come!
I’m thinking we need a “Craving Normal: Volume 2,” Michele! I’d buy it!
Craving Normal is available on Amazon, Skylight Books in Los Angeles, and Green Apple Books on Clement in San Francisco.
