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.

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.

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