The Picard book that focused on the Titan wasn't "Doom and Gloom", it wasn't even set during any of the new series, even though it was released under the Picard label. It felt like a typical Trek novel, it even had some of the characters from the lit'verse in it.
And as JD said, they're still wirting novels based on the other series. Plus the 3 Coda books coming out this fall.
There's a TOS novel coming out in June, a TNG novel in July and a DS9 novel in December.

The TOS Novel is set during the movie era, the TNG and DS9 novels are set during their respective series.
Revenant is actually the first DS9 novel set during the series since 2005.
When you write that the TOS Novel is from the movie era, I hope that you mean the six original movies, not the current NuTrek movies.
As for the TNG and DS9 novels, at least they seem to continue to be released but not Voyager.
Anyway, there seem to be some hope for TreklLit after all.
I actually like The Orville in a way.
But watching The Orville is like......well, imagine if you are a hockey fan, let's say Chicago Blackhawks (if you don't like that team, replace it with your favorite team and if you don't like hockey, replace hockey with baseball, football, basketball or anything you like).
You have cheered for your team for years, seen almost all homegames live plus the away games on TV and more and less lived for the hockey season.
Then the owners decide to move the team to El Paso and call it "El Paso Chihuahuas"!
Your world is shattered. You can't watch NHL anymore on TV because it's impossible for you to cheer for the former opponents of your team and you HATE the El Paso Chihuahuas with a vengeance. Just the mention of the team makes you wanna throw everything in your apartment out through the window, the only reason for not doing so is that you don't want to kill innocent people on the street below.
Your friends are doing all they can to cheer you up and one day your buddy Chucky comes up with amazing news:
"We do have a team in the town now, it's called Lakeside Gnomes and plays in the Central Hockey League.
"Ah, crap" you think. But you decide to follow your buddy to a game.
However, you discover that there are some differences. Instead of United Center with 22 000 seats, it's now Lakeside Arena with 4000 seats, the jerseys are red all right but not with Chief Blackhawk but an angry gnome. Instead of up to 18 000-22 000 cheering fans, there are now about 500 yelling fans, most of them drunk, instead of Chicago Blackhawks against Boston Bruins with a face-off between Patrick Kane and David Pastrnak, we now have the Lakeside Gnomes against Quahog Brewers and a face-off between Al Bundy and Pete Griffin.
But all of a sudden you realize that you actually enjoy it in a way. It is at least funny and it's a hockey league where you don't have to get El Paso Chihuahuas stuck in your face from time to time.
But it will never be the same as the real things in the good,old days.
Not to mention that watching The Orville has hit some obstacles when it comes to my watching of the series.
I've watched seasons 1 and 2, even the re-runs. But all of a sudden, the channel which have aired it no longer have the rights to it. OK, I can stream it for free but only seasons 1 and 2. Season 3 seems to be on some other network and I'm already paying a lot of money for different services, I can't possible pay every streaming service there is. Well, I just hope that The Orville can be available somewhere where I can get it for a decent price.
