I write more. Once I wrote an entire column about writer's block.

I also drink more and try to talk to women...or should that be "or try to talk to women"? I don't always do both at the same time, but both generally anger me enough to write something.(less)

I think everyone assumes if you're a writer, you must be like Hemingway. More likely, I think THEY we live the lives of Castle or Carrie Bradshaw, which SHOULD give you an indication of how few people actually read.

No, really...people love to SAY they read a lot, but they don't. You're probably not even reading this. Go through your GoodReads friends list. Relatively few of your friends have anything they're currently reading or books they have read. Maybe they think this is an old MySpace page. The site is certainly as convoluted as the old MySyace format.

(You may have to do some research to find out what MySpace is, but that MIGHT involve more reading.)(less)

Here's Your Stupid Book(s) Rlease Party!



"Oh, man! The Holidays are over and it's @#%&$! winter again. There's nothing to do. Or is there?"

2016 was a banner year in the publishing department of Andy Land!

Hot on the heels of releasing The King of Casinos as an audio book, "King" earned its FOURTEENTH AWARD.
Later in the year, I was humbled and honored to win the BEST OF LAS VEGAS AWARD for Best Author.
