I am well into the process of reviewing the physical proof and spotting final corrections, and once again, I have found myself getting swept up in the story. I think I've read the entire thing something like 5 times, and I still enjoy it. Even if it don't sell a single copy, I can at least say that I have accomplished what I wanted--a tale that pleases me and meets with my expectations. And thinking it over, when I realize what circumstances I had swirling around me as I wrote it, I am amazed that it not only got finished, but is of the quality it is.
I am also gathering extensive notes to help me while I continue to write Book 2 to make sure that all areas of the plot that were mentioned in Book One are resolved there, and that the 'tech' stays consistent.

Book 2 Progress
"Sisterhood of Suns: Widows War" is up to 300+ pages now, with new material being written every day. Having seen what could be done with book 1 in terms of size, I am more comfortable with its projected length. There is still much to do of course--the cover is being refined, tech is being double-checked, and plot elements are being tweaked as needed. Many thanks to my friends who have lent their suggestions and their ears as it has progressed!
Book 1 on Sale and Initial Reviews
Book 1, "Sisterhood of Suns: Pallas Athena is on the market! It is available at Amazon.com in both paperback and Kindle format. Here are some initial reviews:
A Good Sci-Fi Read: "...this is one novel that is hard to put down, and you will mow through with surprising speed. You will be left wanting more at the end, at least so you can have more time with the amazingly real and distinct characters that inhabit this dystopian future."
The Next Frontier: "...The subject matter alone is fascinating; an entire system of planets run by women. Not only that, but run quite well by them. More than that, even though technology has advanced, every facet of the book is accessible to the average person and focuses on telling the story more than building up a vocabulary of fancy tech terms.'
"My opinion of this work is clear. I think that it is well done and I want to see more where this came from..."
