Behind the Scenes: What We’ve Been Building Since the Kindle Release of Tanya’s Subconscious Mind
Since the Kindle release of Tanya’s Subconscious Mind, we’ve been quietly strengthening the foundation of Rhule & Co. Publishing. Our focus has been on expanding our reach, refining our content, and ensuring that every step we take aligns with our long‑term vision.
We are committed to producing meaningful, uplifting stories that resonate with readers worldwide. This season has been about building structure, improving our processes, and preparing the ground for future releases — including the continuation of Tanya’s story.
Storytelling is most powerful when shared. Through social media and other platforms, we’ve been connecting with readers who value imagination, faith, and personal growth. These conversations help shape the direction of our work and remind us why we write.
Our purpose is to reach a global audience through the sale of books and related products. While we are not yet entering formal partnerships or contracts, we are laying the groundwork for sustainable growth, increased visibility, and a publishing catalogue that reflects our values.
Thank you for following our journey. More updates, reflections, and behind‑the‑scenes stories are on the way.
Just thought I’d share a biblical truth with you. Now I’m not bible bashing. Scripture tells us that whatsoever we sow we shall reap. Some people go through life struggling but never do anything about it. They sow nothing and wonder why they reap nothing. I hope you got the message.
Exploring the Psychological Landscape Behind the Story
When I first began writing Tanya’s Subconscious Mind, I knew the story wouldn’t be driven by external action alone. It needed to explore the internal world — the quiet battles, the emotional fractures, and the subconscious forces that shape who we are. The book became an experiment in psychological storytelling, where tension doesn’t always come from what characters do, but from what they feel and fear.
Readers often ask what inspired the tone of the novel. The truth is, much of it came from observing how memory and emotion interact in real life. We all carry hidden rooms inside us — places we rarely visit, yet they influence us every day. Tanya’s journey is a walk through those rooms. Her subconscious becomes a landscape, shifting between clarity and distortion, revealing truths she isn’t ready to face.
As I continue developing Book 2, I’m expanding that landscape. Tanya’s internal world grows more complex, more symbolic, and more connected to the events unfolding around her. Without giving anything away, I can say this: the subconscious is never quiet, and it never forgets.
Writing this series has been one of the most rewarding creative challenges of my career. It’s taught me that the mind is the most powerful setting a story can have — and sometimes, the most dangerous.
How Abstract Art Inspires My Writing
Finding Stories in Shapes, Colours, and Emotion
Abstract art has always fascinated me. It doesn’t tell you what to think — it invites you to feel. There’s no fixed meaning, no single interpretation. Instead, the viewer becomes part of the artwork, completing it with their own imagination.
As a writer, that freedom is invaluable.
When I look at an abstract painting, I’m not searching for a literal scene. I’m looking for emotional cues: tension, harmony, fragmentation, movement. These elements often spark ideas for characters or settings. A chaotic brushstroke might become a moment of conflict. A soft gradient might inspire a reflective chapter. A distorted shape might evolve into a symbol within a story.
During the early development of Tanya’s Subconscious Mind, one particular abstract piece influenced how I visualised Tanya’s internal world. Looking at the abstract painting helped to build the concept of lost souls on a rollercoaster. I never named the artist, and I don’t need to. What mattered was the feeling — the sense of psychological depth and emotional ambiguity. It helped me imagine the subconscious not as a clinical concept, but as a living, shifting environment. You’ll have to read Tanya’s Subconscious Mind Book 1 to find out more.
Abstract art reminds me that creativity doesn’t always begin with clarity. Sometimes it begins with confusion, emotion, or a shape you can’t quite explain. And that’s where the best stories often come from.
