They are definitely cutting the ones that aren't selling to expectations. Friend of mine did 3 in her series and the publisher opted not to continue the series (but did ask if she had other cozy mysteries without paranormal elements.)
Publishers are much faster to cut series these days if they don't make the expected sales goals! Authors get two or three books and if that doesn't reach a lofty goal, it's curtains...
(It may also differ from house to house what they are looking for. I can believe not every publisher is having luck with a particular genre. Thanks for chiming in. Always good to have more data.)
