Second Print of the novel “Lost in Floral Rain”

All the copies of the novel “Lost in Floral Rain” available for sale in Sarasavi bookshops in Sri Lanka since April 2019 were sold out by 2020. All copies I had with me in Australia were given out to well-wishers to raise funds for the charity “Project Home Owl” as well.

The money raised from the proceeds were used for the following charity work.

1. In 2019/20: Donation of ten sets of text books for students (with financial difficulties) of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Peradeniya and English readers for school aged-kids.

2. In April 2021: Donation ten (10) Samsung Galaxy tablets for the students (with financial difficulties) of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Peradeniya in April 2021. The total value of this donation was Rs. 329,900.

Even though there were no copies of “Lost in Floral Rain” were available, we were not able to get a second print out immediately due to Covid related issues since 2020.

As we are well aware, at the end of the second phase of Covid in early 2022, Sri Lanka underwent a monitory crisis resulting in a severe shortage of printing paper. Our publisher was not in a position to print the second batch of copies immediately.

Despite all these, I am delighted to inform that a second batch of “Lost in Floral Rain” was printed and released by Sarasavi Book shop in late 2022.

However, due to high cost of printing and the lack of printing paper in Sri Lanka, this second batch was printed as a standard paperback edition instead of the hard cover and flip-cover editions we had with the first print.

This second print of “Lost in Floral Rain” was released at the Peradeniya Medical School Alumni Association (PeMSA) conference held in Sydney in October 2022.

Furthermore, only a limited number of copies were printed and therefore the book is not available for sale in bookshops in Sri Lanka.

Copies are available for sale in Australia and those who are willing to purchase a copy are kindly requested to refer to information given in the following location: https://lostinfloralrain.blogspot.com/2023/05/how-to-buy-copy-of-lost-in-floral-rain.html

All revenue raised from the sale of "Lost in Floral rain" will be used for the charity named "Project Home Owl". For details of "Project Home Owl" charity please visit: https://lostinfloralrain.blogspot.com/2019/05/introducing-project-home-owl-charity.html
