Rowling! But it\u2019s not as easy as it might seem (especially when you\u2019re not Judy Blume or J.K. Rowling). It may involve starting all over with a new agent, a new publisher, and new readers. We talk this week with Leah Konen, the author of five Young Adult novels, who recently published her first adult thriller,&amp;nbsp;All the Broken People, about how she did it\u2014with two more adult thrillers and a TV adaptation on the way. She offers great tips for anyone interested in genre-switching, writing thrillers, or simply injecting more suspense into anything you write.
