I have a new story out: "New Day Dawning."

A novel cyanobacterium is threatening ocean fish stocks, and Winna and Tomás are at an international conference convened to address the problem. Also at the conference is Káurë New Day, a participant from the Solimões Sodality whose presence warrants an FAQ and causes some strife.

Káurë New Day is named after Cacicus cela, called káurë in the Magüta language, and photographed here by Flickr user Francisco Piedrahita.

It's a pretty bird!

"Magüta" is an autonym for the people more commonly known to outsiders as the Tikuna or Ticuna. I am very excited to be--God willing--traveling to their ancestral lands in a few weeks, and I've been in contact with a Magüta tour guide who offers walks where you get to learn about plants and things. ... I may have overwhelmed him with a firehose of too much English and enthusiasm, but if I do get to meet up with him, I will be sure to write about it.

Here's that story link again ;-) "New Day Dawning"

Your excitement is contagious :D
