Use your google-fu. It's really quite simple to find the answer, even if you don't want to believe it.

What? The claim was that it was typical that an author with a day job write three books per year. That is not true. I have for example heard 50-100 authors talk about writing and cannot remember any of them claiming to write three books per year while having a day job. Some of the authors that do not have a day job did write three or more books but it was not typical.
The authors I have heard talk is mostly science fiction and fantasy authors.
