As of six months ago, he claimed this. Short form - as of right now, he should be currently working on or just about done with the sequels to Crown of Slaves and Shadow of Saganami. After that comes the next Hells Gate book, then the next mainstream Honor book. It doesn't sound like the next mainstream book is going to be the last one - although I'm not certain what he can do with her any more! One report claimed that she was originally/recently scheduled to die in the Battle of Manticore - since she survived and is now Admiral of the Home Fleet (in actuality if not in name - but I can't see them not following up with the name shortly), I don't see her going off and having adventures any more. I think either the adventure is going to have to come to her, or there's going to have to be a shift in focus.
By a different report, his original plan had Honor's kids going up against Mesa. That same report said that the time-scale had gotten shortened, and now Honor was going to have to be involved. It will be interesting to see what he comes up with.
