She is the translator of John Strelecky’s and Barbara Sher’s books, among the numerous other works she has brought into German. She has also made a name for herself in the counseling branch of the publishing world. Her successful publications include Der kleine Taschenbuddhist/The Pocket Buddhist (80,000 copies) and, most recently, Geschenke fuer die Seele/Gifts for the Soul. Bettina Lemke lives near Munich, and spends several months of the year in Ireland, which has become her second home.
