And here is an updated from Chen:
I've written a second person novel involving traveling the country by train while Black. I'm also currently working on a thriller (suburban noir) entitled "Neighbors' House." My short term goal is to acquire a literary agent. My long term goal is to have multiple novels out in different regions of the globe.
