The public has a voracious appetite for books. The writer who has a talent for creating a character and developing that person over the course of several or even dozens of books should be congratulated. In every sense of the word, serious, yes- they are serious writers. Some are obviously better than others. I'll let history judge J.K. Rowling, who has decided to go down a different path. It is hard maintaining a series in top form. Writers are human, they burn out. Lee Child's character, Jack Reacher, is hitting his peak. New found recognition can give a writer that second wind of inspiration. May the muses be so kind to your favorite writers.
