The rights to 3 have been bought, but I've not heard him say a total number that have been planned.

Ah, right, the being famous part sucks. Keep forgetting that he wasn't in such good standing as he is now.
Maybe he keeps the total number under wraps - and sold his series: hey, let's do 3 and see after how successful and go from there. Unless he would get a better negotiating point after - and switch to highest bidder afterwards. I doubt he can pull off selling a 20+ series again when he still writes one. Longshot author only goes that long. He already beat the odds big time, no need to push his luck.

Yes, I do agree that it is beneficial and possibly faster than only writing one sereis at a time. That is if he can stay on track and only work on one book each and alternate. The other problem is that Jim said before that he got so many ideas that he could never write all in a lifetime.
