Simon Green? I know the writer, but don't recognize what you mean. Is he known for tossing books out not quite finished in order to stay on schedule?
At least Butcher can say "At least I'm not Rothfuss!" eight years and counting with no 3rd book in sight.

Simon Green, author of the Nightside series, amongst others--while an author that I really enjoy--pisses me off no end because he writes his series, they seem to be going great guns, and then he just...guillotines them. Ends them abruptly or lamely, with no going back. Kills off MCs, etc. I had hoped that Nightside would continue on for a while (although, with what he'd done with the protag's arc, not sure how it could have), and his other series, the Golden Torc dudes, but nah. And his last book, which was a standalone, just sucked. And ended like he wrapped it up in 3 pages, rather than at least 4 chapters that it needed.

NOPE, that was about it for me, too. I thought it was a shame, too, but once she started down that path, all I could think was "oh, no, she's Laurell K. Hamilton'ing this series" and I just stopped dead. I didn't want to watch another series tank like that. If I want porn, I can flip on Cinemax.
