The 'Lord of the Rings' film trilogy has raked in billions for others, but for the heirs of beloved author and creator J.R.R. Tolkien, nothing.

Many top-selling writers…have turned out at least one book annually for years. Now some writers are beginning to grumble about the pressure, and some are refusing to comply.
