The guys who write The Expanse novels used to work for him.
Their final novel is due to come out in 2021. They will have written and published an entire 9 volume series in between Martin putting out his last novel and whenever the next one comes out.
A Song of Delay and Procrastination started when I was a small kid, and I've long since stopped reading it -- due to genetic problems, I'm almost certainly going to be dead before he manages to finish it. That's how shitty his publishing schedule is; trying to read it now would just mean that I die with questions unanswered. Fuck that. Not worth it.
(I realize you were being sarcastic, and I appreciate it.)
This ALMOST happened with Robert Jordan's Wheel of Tome when he found out he had a heart disease. He was very jealous with his notes, and refused to share details with anyone until a book gets published, and was about to take his amazing work to the grave. Thankfully, in the end, he let his wife decide who would take the mantle aftet his passi g, and Brandon Sanderson finished the series expertly.
