If you like fantasy books, here are a few of my favorite writers (they all have a trilogy or sequal thingies, I'll just name a few titles, but there are a bunch more):

Robin Hobb
~ Assassin's Apprentice (first book of The Farseer Trilogy )
~ Ship of Magic (first book of The Liveship Traders Trilogy)
...

Terry Goodkind
~ Wizard's first rule (first book of a series that's still going on, untill now there are 10 of these)

Juliet Marillier
~ Daughter of the forest (first book of The Sevenwaters Trilogy)

Raymond E. Feist
~ Magician (first book of The Riftwar-Series)

... pm me if you want some more or if you'd like to discuss them

I'm not sure what you have already read....
Here is a list of authors who have largish series or multiple books out - mostly fantasy:

1) Jim Butcher
- Dresden Files series (btw, a new program on the Sci Fi channel)
- Codex Alera series

2) Terry Prattchet
- Discworld series (very funny - british humour)

3) Neil Gaiman
- misc books not really in a series
Good Omens (w/ Terry Prattchet,very funny!), American Gods

4) Tanya Huff

5) Anne Bishop
- Black Jewels Trilogy
- Tir Alainn Trilogy

6) Simon R Green
- The Nightside novels
- Deathstalker series (more scifi)

7) Holly Lisle
Vincalis the Agitator (great book)

8) Orson Scott Card
- Alvin Maker series
- Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide (personally I don't like the books later in the series and haven't read all of them - his older work is much better - ok, sorry, I'll get off my high horse)
a couple of non series books that are truly great: Treason & Songmaster

more sci fi

9) David Webber

10) John Ringo

Anyways, I could keep going, but that's a ton of books right there. Contact me if you want more.
