Cat's Whisker is the story of Samuel Baron, an engineer, inventor, and successful entrepreneur. Trained as a scientist, Baron nonetheless nurtures a lifelong fascination with mysticism and spirituality, investigating themes as varied and interesting as meditation, jiu-jitsu, biology, anthropology, tai chi, BDSM-and the search for the perfect cocktail. His life is a quest-ultimately a successful one-for a view of the cosmos where science and spirituality don't just peacefully coexist but are instead intimately bound up as co-equal aspects of an integrated and inspiring reality.

Autorenporträt
Robert Steven Goldstein is the author of five novels. His first, "The Swami Deheftner", about problems that ensue when ancient magic and mysticism manifest in the twenty-first century, developed a small cult following in India. His second novel, "Enemy Queen", a sexual comedy of manners set in a North Carolina college town, was a finalist in the category of cross genre fiction for the International Book Awards. Robert's third novel, "Cat's Whisker", probes the perceived rift between science and spirituality; it was longlisted for the prestigious Chanticleer International 2021 SOMERSET Book Award for Literary and Contemporary Fiction. His fourth novel, "Will's Surreal Period", about the peripatetic machinations of a dysfunctional family, was longlisted for the Chanticleer International 2022 SOMERSET Book Award for Literary and Contemporary Fiction. "Golda's Hutch", Robert's fifth novel, is a gripping psychological drama, weaving a complex tapestry of deception, envy, desire, politics, and power; it was shortlisted for the prestigious Chanticleer International 2024 SOMERSET Book Award for Literary and Contemporary Fiction. Robert and his wife Sandy live in San Francisco; over their thirty-six years together, they've shared their home with an array of dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, and parrots, each of whom has displayed a unique personality, startling intelligence, and a profound capacity for love. Robert has practiced yoga, meditation, and vegetarianism for over fifty years. Learn more at www.robertstevengoldstein.com.
