Greg Bear writes sequels, although his series seem to come twos, not trilogies.

Neal Stephenson wrote his Baroque trilogy, but aside from that his novels are all standalone.

I wonder how to categorize Iain M. Banks - his culture novels are pretty much stand-alone, but all set in the same universe.
