If Aeryn Sun turns into Tami Hoag fifteen years later, then, yes, every scrap of old published work will come back into print with the author's name in very large type.
(We had a discussion in my company's editorial meeting this week about how Bantam is bringing back, just about simultaneously, three creaky old Loveswept novels by people like Hoag -- and two others whose name I forget -- as $15 hardcovers this summer.)
But the success level required for that is #5 New York Times bestseller or better. (And consistently.) I know that every writer assumes that level of success will inevitably happen for her, since she is smarter than the smarties and tougher than the toughies, but the odds of it actually happening makes Mega Millions look like a charity program.
