Sure, there are lots of unfinished series or books out there. Sometimes, an author dies (Charles Dickens and The Mystery of Edwin Drood), sometimes they’re unable to for health reasons (Octavia Butler and her Parable series), and sometimes they make lots of excuses but seem to either have lost interest or just not know what to write next (George Martin and ASOIF).

Sometimes publishers cancel a planned book, usually due to public pressure, but that’s more like the type of canceling you mentioned you’re not looking for.
