I don't think I've even heard of Catherine Wells, and I'm happy to hear of a new SF author, especially a female one.
Back when I met the man who is now my husband -- in 1986 -- I had one bookshelf for male SF authors and another one for female SF authors. Norman thought this was very strange, but it seemed to me that the books written by women had a different feel than the ones written by men, and often I was in the mood for one or the other. Of course, once we moved in together and combined our collections, that shelving method fell by the wayside. :-) By I still find special delight in SF written by women, for all that there are many male SF writers that I adore, including at least one who permanently changed my life.
