Tony Maghirang, considers me a catalyst for his personal feat of finishing a novel. A year after my first novel came out in February 2021, his own debut, a Tagalog longform with a catchy title, Ang Kagilagilalas Na Makeup Artist, was published under his slightly tweaked name: TM Maghirang.
Tony’s novel, published by Ukiyoto Publishing, the same publisher that put out my “Lust Regime” and “Rhythm & Bruise,” is kind of an icing on the cake for his rock-fueled, yet quietly introspective run. That icing is being celebrated by some brave souls on the Pinoy rock scene with a launch on April 22, 8:00 p.m. at Take Over Lounge in Xavierville Avenue, Loyola Heights, Quezon City.
Sure he was productive in letting the hours go by as he grinded 5,000 words a week during his novel writing period. Thanks to a rejected teleplay he penned in 2019, he had something to work with as the pandemic was dragging on, repurposing it to turn the story of Jules, who is rescued by a beauty salon owner and who ends up a make-up artist himself, into a novel.
