I am hard at work on SHATTERED, a novel I hope to release in late March or early April.  I need a little help, though!  I would LOVE some feedback on the first chapter.  I want to know if it makes sense to anyone other than jsut me, or if it might be a bit too long, or what.  Please have a look and be sure to let me know what you think.  I really appreciate it!!

SHATTERED, chapter one

“Janessa Marie Warner.”

                With a smile she thought would never fade, Janessa walked confidently up the steps.  She glided across the stage, pausing long enough to shake hands with Dr. Todd Marks, President of Indiana Wesleyan University.  She accepted his congratulations and held tight to the maroon folder he handed her.  This was it.  Her degree.  The little piece of paper she had worked hard for, had lived the past four years for.  No, she had lived for God these last four years.  That folder and the piece of paper it proudly displayes just represented His will for her life. 

                No amount of hard work and sacrifice on her part would have meant anything if God was not in it all.

                She reached the edge of the stage, having shaken hands with a few other members of university faculty.  She looked up and said, “Thank You, Father,” before descended the steps and rejoining her classmates.
