Hello. My name is Alan Wieder. It just so happens that in 2005, the Year of the Rooster, I acted like a real cock. It was an interesting coincidence. I wrote a book about it. It's out now. I'm still kind of a cock, but now I'm a published author, so F.U. Just kiddin'. I love you all. I am a writer and producer in Los Angeles. I graduated Columbia University in 1995 with honors and once planned on attending a high-falutin’ PhD program in Comparative Literature -–before, through a strange twist of fate, I wound up pursuing a career in decidedly low-falutin’ reality television. As a producer, I worked on a bunch of schlocky shows that critics liked to claim spelled the end of respectable culture: Temptation Island, Joe Millionaire—you name it, I was a part of it in some way. Along with my producing partner Steve Sobel, I was one of the creators of the smash-hit My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancé for FOX. Steve and I got a break a few years ago and are now writing feature films for several major studios. Sometimes I miss toying with people's minds for a living. Year of the Cock is my first book. I was born in Miami Beach in 1974 of an uptight-little-French-lady mother and an obscenely hirsute father. Neither are happy with how they are portrayed in my book. I live with my girlfriend Carley, my three-year-old son Roman, and my rather dimwitted schnauzer Cosmo. I am no longer obsessed with my penis, which gives me a lot more time to think about my g.f.'s vagina. Thanks for visiting, and feel free to get in touch. I'd love to hear from you.
