It's planned as 7 books and she has written 4. There hasn't been a new book in two decades and her next book is not in that series.

I was discussing the other day that this sort of thing isn't uncommon at all. There's tons of writers who've had an ending for their series in their heads for decades but demanding day jobs, right issues, depression, illness, other book series and many other things get in the way. If anyone should be punished it should be editors who keep asking for trilogies, quartets or more and don't allow the writer to complete them if the early books sell poorly.

That's a lot of dead people in jail.
I think it comes with the territory, if series epics are what you like to write then there's a very high probability that you won't finish them all, or even one of them.
It seems like there's quite a lot of writers who do series that consist of standalones and their fans don't know how many further books were intended. I just found out that Gormenghast was planned as at least 5 books.
