Oh, well if he said that then it does sound like "last" == "final"

Like I said, "last" for now was kind of the way he put it. On his "last" post (not final, but last one posted) he admitted that he was missing "Lou" and the gang. When he talked about this book being the "last" in the series, he definitely said he would consider doing another, but that it wasn't going to be his next project. I think he was a little burned out on the pace--writing a book a year...is very draining. Well, it is for me anyway and I'm guessing some other writers feel the strain of a deadline.
Personally I think a break from it might very well allow some great new ideas to have a chance to form--that under a "year deadline" might not really have time to cook. It's a great series. I'm really looking forward to the "last" book--but I'd much rather a writer step back and stay fresh rather than force out prose that could be ever so much better with a break/rest.
