Some of my favorites are, in no particular order:

Terry Pratchett - Discworld Series
Stephen King - Dark Tower Series
Harry Potter - Need I say more
James Lee Burke - Dave Robicheaux Series
Louis L'Amour - not sure he falls under the series definition though
 
I'd say Weiss and Hickman but they've written more than a series. They've written several. So have some of these people:

Douglas Adams
Guy Gavriel Kay
Philip Pullman
Robertson Davies
Orscon Scott Card. I consider the Ender books to be a 'series'.
Terry Brooks
CS Lewis
J.R.R. Tolkien

I've enjoyed reading Alexander McCall Smiths Ladies Detective Agency books. They're good for when you need something light and easy to get into. I usually take one on a flight as I can never concentrate on anything taxing at all when I have so many distractions. :cool:
 
A few more I thought of:

Tamora Pierce: serveral quartets, starting with The Song of the Lioness quartet.
John Marsden: Tomorrow, When the War Began series

Now that we have a list of authors (and characters) that have written a series of books can we have a little clarification on the purpose?
 
Stewart, were you not loved as a child?

WOW, I've been a member of this forum for all of five minutes, have read three threads and I have already figured out that Stewart is one major asshole. Hey Stewart, it's really easy to be an asshole over the internet, isn't it? I mean, it's like being an asshole in real society without the repercussions. I whole-heartedly hope you try it with the wrong guy in real life and you get your comeuppance! ;)

Thankyou, newbie. When you've spent more than five minutes here you'll find out that your judgment is incorrect. :)

Three fucking threads. Big deal! :rolleyes:

To risk being a cliched bore, it takes one to know one.

Okay, riddle me this...how am I supposed to know if I'm not interested in a thread unless I read it?
 
I'll second Stewart's question though.

Was the purpose of this thread only to list our fav 'serial authors'? Or was there another point with it?

I found it interesting - I like reading books that are in series rather than just a one-off and so this thread gave me many ideas.

Besides, I've read a fair few more threads which are a lot more pointless than this one.

I'm not trying to get uppity - I just gave my opinion on the point of this thread.
