I'd love to write a sequel to My Sweet Satan.
Originally, Mars Endeavor (which was later published as Retrograde) was going to be a story told in parallel with My Sweet Satan (ie, it happens independently in the same universe but at the same time). Then the sequel would have worked for BOTH stories, combing them (which would have been very challenging but a lot of fun).
Retrograde was picked up by a traditional publisher (John Joseph Adams Books/HMH) so when it came time to write the sequel (called Reentry) it ended up only being the sequel to Retrograde (to avoid confusion). It does, however, tie in a lot of the AI concepts I was wanting to develop.
Could My Sweet Satan still have its own sequel. Yes, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to get to it. One day maybe :)

Was very pleasantly surprised to see you wrote a sequel to the Hugh Howey's Silo series. How did this come to pass? Is he done with the series? Quick addendum, I have very much enjoyed your first contact series, and appreciate that you try to incorporate evolving science in your narratives. Thanks
