Part of HKHSPod's mandate is to highlight the work of Canadian YA Lit writers. In this exclusive interview, Brenna and Joe are joined by Tanaz Bhathena to discuss her cross-cultural romance The Beauty of the Moment, the ironic story of her first YA book (deemed "too dark for adults") and why including diversity in her writing is natural and completely Canadian.

Find out more about Tanaz's work on her website: https://tanazbhathena.com/ or on Instagram at @bhathenatanaz
