Barbara Hanser, author of THE RETURN OF EINSTEIN, has been a writer her entire life focusing on a wide range of journalistic projects. Originally intended as a short story, she could see that the heartwarming and unique story of Einstein the cat and the overwhelming material regarding Dr. Albert Einstein, deserved a full book format. She has written many short stories and informational articles, many of which have appeared in Phoenix publications and newsletters. A native of Minnesota, she authored A HISTORY OF POINTE SOUTH MOUNTAIN, based on the Arizona area where she has lived for twenty years. Over the past few years, she has started several books, one of which is based on the true story of an unwelcome cat family (mother and four kittens) who set up housekeeping in her side patio drain pipe for several months (i.e. CASSIUS & THE DRAINPIPE GANG).
