Mmm-hm.
Travis Taylor. Oh gods. The man went from a decent SI (Warp Speed) to an utterly horrible sequel (The above-shuddered-at Quantum Connection, a story that was
so horrible it almost made me hurl my PDA across the room... the first Baen book I've actually deleted from my collection, it was so bad.)
Authors also have a tendency to slip out of editorial control as they become successful. I give you three examples: David Weber, Tom Clancy, Steven King. All
three went from tight little paperbacks to mega-brick mega-seller hardcovers. Nowadays you can't pick up any of them for under 600 pages.
Personally, I enjoy Ozzallos' stories.
