Debut Novella By Star Love Tentative Release Date is now December 2026 this may change since the author has been fairly busy as of late and her timeline is constantly shifting.

✨ A Message from Star Love ✨

Every journey has its hills and valleys, and mine has been no different. The road I’ve walked has been paved with challenges, heartaches, and moments where I questioned my purpose. But through it all, God has been my strength, my comfort, and my guide. Every struggle I’ve faced has been met with His grace, reminding me that even in the darkest times, He is working for my good.

There were moments when I felt unseen, unheard, and unworthy—much like the woman at the well. But just as Jesus met her with compassion and restored her sense of purpose, He has done the same for me. Those experiences inspired me to share my story through my book:

📖 "I Am the Woman at the Well: Developmental Transformation" 📖

This book is more than just a story; it’s a testimony to the transformative power of God’s love. It’s about the beauty of healing, the freedom found in redemption, and the incredible strength that comes from trusting God with your life. It’s a message for every woman (and man) who has ever doubted their worth or questioned their future.

✨ “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11 ✨

No matter where you are on your journey, I want you to know this: God is not finished with you. Your struggles are not the end of your story—they are the foundation for the beautiful transformation God is bringing into your life. You are stronger than you know, and with God, you are capable of overcoming anything.

In addition to writing, I am so blessed to lead Let It Go Ministries, a mission dedicated to helping others let go of pain, fear, and doubt so they can step boldly into the purpose God has for them. It’s my calling to inspire and uplift through faith, encouragement, and compassion.

✨ Visit my website www.star-love.org to learn more about my journey, my ministry, and how we can walk this faith journey together.

✨ And don’t forget to follow me on TikTok for daily inspiration, encouragement, and behind-the-scenes moments! Let’s connect and share this walk of faith.

💖 Let’s walk this journey together. I invite you to read I Am the Woman at the Well: Developmental Transformation and discover how God can turn your trials into triumphs.

Your transformation is coming. Keep trusting, keep believing, and keep moving forward. 🙏

📣 ANNOUNCEMENT: Google Classroom for Writers Is Now LIVE!

Each Classroom is tailored to your individual needs as an author. No two classrooms will be alike, because each one of our writers and authors is uniquely deserving of individual attention and care.

At Owl Mountain Press, we believe that writing isn’t just a task — it’s a journey. And like any meaningful journey, it helps to have the right map, the right tools, and the right support. That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of our Google Classroom for Writers!

This new platform is designed to offer a structured, accessible, and encouraging space where our writers can stay on track, stay inspired, and develop their skills with greater clarity.

✨ What You’ll Find Inside:
✅ Weekly , bi-weekly, and monthly deadlines clearly outlined
✅ Writing resources to strengthen your voice and storytelling
✅ Editable templates, checklists, and guides for each phase of your manuscript
✅ Feedback requests and submission guidelines in one centralized place
✅ Links to Google Keep for personalized notes, prompts, and milestone tracking

🧭 A Personalized Experience
Each Classroom is tailored to your individual needs as an author.
No two classrooms will be alike — because each one of our writers is uniquely deserving of individual attention and care. Whether you need more support with structure, accountability, feedback, or creative direction, your space will reflect your personal journey and goals.

💡 Why Google Classroom?
We’re shifting away from project management tools like Asana and into Google Classroom because it’s:

More intuitive for writers who are familiar with Google Workspace
Easier to organize and find materials.
Flexible enough to handle both creative and professional development.
Integrated with your submission process — with email-based submissions, deadlines, and document tracking.
Whether you're working on a memoir, a devotional, or a novel, this classroom is here to empower you, guide you, and grow with you.

We’ll be reaching out individually to share your access code and walk you through the setup. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure of what comes next, this space will help provide the structure and encouragement you’ve been looking for.

Let’s write something incredible together.

Warmly,
Jess Bicknell
