Barbara Menke

A marketing and communications professional, Barbara Menke also pursues a writing career rooted in lived experience and personal insight, inviting readers into her world, where each book reveals a different facet of human life.

Maman ne m’oublie pas (2022) tells, with sensitivity and depth, the enduring bond between a daughter and her mother facing Alzheimer’s disease.

The True Tale of Julian the Dwarf Rabbit (2023) is a tender, gently melancholic illustrated story inspired by a quirky but true memory from her early years.

Perspectives : un recueil de nouvelles (2026) takes a more introspective turn with short stories : fleeting moments, tangible tensions, and raw emotions open windows onto the complexity of human interactions.

Barbara Menke is also the author of 15 Years in the Heart of the Action (2019), an anniversary book chronicling the missions of the humanitarian organisation International Emergency Firefighters, and has contributed to The Official Guide to the University of Oxford (2010).
