May 2021 update: I recently discussed Goldzilla, the long-overdue 8th Esther Diamond novel with my editor. We’re planning for delivery of the manuscript later this year and publication in 2022. That’s all the information I have for now. My profound and sincere apologies not only for the long delay on this book, but also for my late or total lack of response to anyone who has asked me about it. from the author's website: " Sorry, no, still no release date for Goldzilla, Esther Diamond #8. This is on me, not my publisher, as I am running well behind schedule. No, I have not quit the series, forsaken writing, been dumped by DAW Books, or any of the other things people have anxiously asked me. I’m just tardy."
