Excellent! Big Bravos! Your play is a masterpiece…so well written: clever, funny, poignant, sad…it has it all.

                      Noel Paul Stookey, Singer & Songwriter (Paul in Peter, Paul, & Mary)

Such a delight! The Women of Cedar Creek is a lovely, touching, funny, sad play. Hooray for you!                        Amanda McBroom, singer and songwriter of The Rose

Catherine Ann Jones’s 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.                    Dianne Skafte, Ph.D., Listening to the Oracle

Catherine Ann Jones is in possession of a powerful talent. Nothing is more rare in my opinion.

                                                                  Norman Mailer, novelist.

Catherine Ann Jones is an important writer and has an extraordinary power.

Catherine Ann Jones is a masterful storyteller. Each play in this anthology is brilliantly conceived and crafted to plumb the depths of each character’s psychological and emotional journey which in turn provides us a deeply moving and personally transformative experience of our own.   – Patricia Gaul, actress

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.  Powerful! The ending of your play is so powerful, and I’m going     to study it if I ever think I could/should/would want to write a play.     

                                                                                Marilee Zdenek, God is a Verb

Remarkable Women: Four Plays offers a transformative journey for anyone interested in the power of stories or the deeper mysteries of the human experience.
