I read in the back of a Xanth novel,
that Piers Anthony has up to 5 books in the works at any one time.
He also has rather firm dates (to the month) of when they will hit
the market.  This probably results from his expierence in writing,
and the fact that he says he never gets writer's block.
If only we all were so lucky!
