    I have heard speculation that she has written more than the 2 published books. She is a very private person. The massive publicity from To Kill made her determined to not face that again. She has been living her life quietly in rural Alabama.

    I think she has been writing but not publishing. She is now in an assisted living facility. I will not be surprised if (after her death) several manuscripts are 'found'.
