Catherine Ann Jones\u2019s artful work not only pays tribute to the past but is a true gift to the present. A lovely job of weaving elements from your life experience with the creation of your plays. The notes of wisdoms throughout were great, like reminding us that good character writing is more like an impressionistic painting than a literal photograph. They are plays of such depth and meaning. Assembling the works together creates a whole greater than its parts, for each of them casts a light on psychological realities that illuminate each other and gift us with new insight. I feel deeply that future readers will be glad they can experience the worlds you have created for them.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dianne Skafte, Ph.D., Listening to the Oracle<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Your Texas play took me decades back in time. The phrases that made me laugh out loud were the same ones I heard growing up.\u00a0 Powerful! The ending of your play is so powerful, and I\u2019m going \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0to study it if I ever think I could\/should\/would want to write a play.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
