I am also writing another series and do not intend to publish any of it until every novel is written.

You are my hero. If only more authors would take this approach.
Although I must admit, it's not the wait for the next book that peeves me the most. It's the fact that the publishing industry allows unknown (untried, untested) authors to release a debut novel that leaves readers in the lurch. **cough, Pat Rothfuss, cough** The cliff-hanger isn't a literary tool -- it's a marketing tool. And it ticks me off to no end that my favorite genre (speculative fiction) seems to think this is acceptable behavior, while in all other genres, this tactic is the exception rather than the rule. Grrr.
