I don't get what they mean by "lore" and can't figure it out from context.

I don’t understand the question.

Many of the airport bookstore authors you may be thinking of use ghostwriters.

And then there’s always drug abuse, which accounts for many of Stephen King’s books.

I don't know what you mean by lore - like how do they keep track of the entire community/world they have built?

I think immediately of Janet Evanovich and her 30+ Stephanie Plum books. The secret is nothing really happens. It's the same book over and over and over, just new silly names for the gangster role, the deceased old person role, the stoner role, etc etc.

John Grisham!

If you're into sci-fi/fantasy, Brandon Sanderson.

Jacqueline Winspear (18 Maxie books and a few standalone, she just retired)
CS Harris (20 books and counting)
Ashley Gardner (multiple series, but the Captain Lacey series seems long)
JD Robb (Nora Roberts pen name, book 62 comes out this spring)
Anna Lee Huber ( 2 series, both in the double digits and some standalones)

A lot of them were written by assistants.

Soon they will be written by AI.

James Patterson gives interviews about his process and yes, he has a team of ghost writers.

Be careful about throwing that assumption around. There are lots of lawyers and academics who become authors and they are extremely disciplined and productive. Baldacci and Grisham write their own books.
