What?! By any chance, do you like that feeling of anticipation you get waiting on a sneeze that just never seems to materialize?

Let me get this straight. You don't want to read any potentially fantastic, complete series' simply because there's no chance its deceased author will be able to provide you with something new—in the event that you really enjoy what they've written? You do realize that a live author can die while you're waiting on their next book, right?

I'm going to second a lot of Apache's excellent suggestions. Especially David Gunn's and Taylor Anderson's respective series. They're both currently alive, but I think one of them may be planning on going skydiving soon, so you may want to wait a bit to see how that turns out.
