Arguable if Frank Herbert is continuing his most popular property given that he passed away in 1986. The continuations are mostly collaborations between his son Brian and Kevin J. Anderson.

As far as I know, six of the Dune books—Dune (1965), Dune Messiah (1969), Children of Dune (1976), God Emperor of Dune (1981), Heretics of Dune (1984) and Chapterhouse: Dune (1985)—were written by Frank Herbert. The remainder of the books were co-authored by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson based on notes that Frank Herbert had made and that were found a decade after his death.

A humorous aspect about the original Dune novel is that it was published by Chilton which was and is best known for the Chilton auto repair manuals.
