On why she decided to go first with a US publication date for “The Blue Bar” contrary to “You Beneath Your Skin”, which was first published in India, she says, “The US is the largest English language publishing industry, and provides excellent editorial support – I’ve learned so much about plot development and structure while working with my agent and my editors at Thomas & Mercer.” “The Blue Bar” is available in India as an ebook, and Biswas says the India rights for the book are being negotiated at the moment and there should be an Indian paperback soon. While choosing her characters, she says she tries to give each villain one of her favourite qualities in herself or her loved ones and also to give a protagonist an annoying trait or belief she would like to change about her or her friends or family.
