JUDITH HAS CONTRIBUTED TO CURRENT PUBLICATIONS BY OTHER AUTHORS
- An 'AFTERWORD' for the book "COMING TO LIFE" (Harper Collins)

- "WISDOM MAN" (Penguin Australia)
An autobiography by BANJO CLARKE, as told to CAMILLA CHANCE, published in 2003. Though often the recipient of great injustice and hardship, this much-loved Aboriginal Elder had boundless compassion and always stood by 'Aboriginal principles'. He had changed the thinking in his area - the Western District of Victoria - and was visited by travellers from all over the world seeking counsel and comfort in his wisdom.
- IT`S NEVER TOO LATE: FINDING LOVE AT ANY AGE (Lothian Books)
This lovely book, by Australians Barbara and Dick Jarvis, is a practical, self-help guide to finding that special person in middle age and later. When the authors asked Judith to contribute a foreword she had, by amazing coincidence, recently written a song with the same title as the book! The lyric of Judith`s own `It`s Never Too Late` is now a fitting foreword for a book which will help anyone who is looking for a new relationship but doesn`t know how to get started. Available from www.writtenword.com.au
