The new Big Kahuna Wave Pool is luring scorched Midwesterners to Noah's Ark Water Park, where 600-h.p. air compressors send waves rolling from one end of the 600-ft. pool to the other. The waves are kept to a modest 3 ft. during the busiest hours of the day, but visitors who arrive early enough after the 9 a.m. opening can play in the giants...

And that was pretty much the way it went with him thereafter. There was nothing he couldn't write, so there was nothing he didn't write.
