The preface explains the author’s personal origin for the story during a painful, conflicted period and frames the book as a source of strength for readers facing their own everyday aswangs. A dedication to creative collaborators and beta readers highlights the craft behind its mythos and storytelling.","PRAISE FOR TABLAY  \n“Mecha - based on Pinoy myths! Government conspiracies! Techno-organic aswang! Secret missions! And a young mech pilot trying to dodge and weave through it all. TABLAY is a fun mashup of mech and myth!” -Budjette Tan, co-creator of Trese  \n“I am one of the delighted passengers into Kat's mind and her world, \"Tablay\". A magnificent mix of monsters, mech and mayhem.” -Berlin Manalaysay, creator of Combatron  \n“I should shoot myself for not thinking of this concept first. Clever. Imaginative. Grounded. It looks back to our past and reimaginesour future.” -Juan Ekis, BroadwayWorld Award Winner, Director of A Play of the Decade  \n“Strap yourselves tight folks, when that twist is revealed, you'll be blown out of your socks. Tablay, hands down, is one of the best Filipino sci-fi books ever.” - Bambi Eloriaga-Amago, Author of Doobiedoo Asks  \n“A noteworthy piece of literature that delivers heart-pounding and visually-stimulating action scenes, heartfelt character dialogue and thought-provoking themes…” -The Bosun, UA&P Official Publication  \n“A gripping, thought-provoking adventure that is both amazing and heartfelt. The real magic of Tablay is its ability to replenish our diminishing faculty to wonder.” -The Time of Assassins Literary Guild  \n“This book is also brave to project parallels in socio-economic and geo-political landscapes that ring true today. I loved that it scrutinized what war, tangible and abstract, can do; that there is not always a black-white; and that the now is shaped by history, but the future is what we decide it to be.” -dexterous_totalus, book blogger  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nTABLAY  \nCopyright © 2019 Katrina F.

It was a period of endless tears, doubt and conflict. This book saved me in more ways than one. It is proof that I am stronger than all my fears and struggles. Tablay is for those who face their own aswangs everyday, and continue to fight.  \nI would want to thank the following:  \nGod, for giving me the strength to pull through;  \nMy parents, who never stopped supporting my writing career;  \nMaylene, my awesome editor, who enlightened me in both mythos and geeky science stuff;  \nJoie, my cover artist, who worked insanely fast on the art;  \nMy mentor, Dr. Joem Antonio, who helped me build on the story with his invaluable creative writing advice;  \nMy writing dads at DJS, Louie and Jerry, who trained me to be sharp, creative and strategic with words, and be dedicated to my craft; My amazing artistic team: Marc, Paul, Ena and Jia, who brought the world of Tablay to life with their designs;  \nMy beta readers: Carl, Mio, and Bea, who saw plot-holes I couldn’t; My friends: Angela, Binah, Nicole, Yanni, Pilar, Ria, Apol, Anton, Jopy, Renzo, Cathy, Nathan, Bea, Jose, Ena, Iya, Isa, Chobibs, Dr. Caterina Lorenzo-Molo, AJ and finally DJ.
