Yup. If the sales aren't there for the first book of a trilogy, the publisher's not going to bother with the third. "But I've been burned before!" Sure, fine, but explain how that's any other author's fault, or why you need to punish them for someone else's lack of productivity. I assure you the vast majority of writers absolutely want to write their entire series. But if readers won't back them early on with sales, they might not get the chance.
