"Auto Antenna" is a pulp fiction memoir about art, personhood, and an Insider's Guide to Santa Fe, all as an enchanting backdrop for an unusually alluring and free-spirited adventurer on the verge of her sixth decade; a mysterious transplant to Santa Fe, who it turns out may not be from this world at all. She drives a turquoise 1959 Ford Galaxie, exploring the unique mixture of 'art, magic, and spirituality as a lifestyle' that has allowed a small town in the desert to become the third largest art market in the country. The atmospheric highs of the City Different delivers fertile terrain for anyone interested in exploring artistic revelry, spiritual seeking, and the process of becoming a person.
A therapist for artists, Cybilline provides keen psychological insight and hilarity into issues of self-construction and perceived success, while identifying the uses of imagination; not just for the purpose of artmaking, but how those same elements play a role in determining personal identity, and even destiny.
With poetic observations and charming fantasia, "Auto Antenna" offers a toolkit for creating a life of sustaining pleasures, purpose, and invention. And at all times remaining a love letter to Santa Fe.

"It's about the way we stitch ourselves together with a little of this energy, a little of that experience, or this subtle influence, or that various half-belief. And always in our personalities, with visible loose threads dangling about, as we are always unfinished and in motion."
