In France in 1518, hundreds of people were overcome by a dancing plague. They danced for weeks, some of them collapsing from exhaustion and—according to some accounts—dying.
This is a true historical event.
We still don't know what caused it, or the other similar events recorded throughout history, but myself and eight other authors have a few ideas.
The Dancing Plague is a collection of stories presenting unique theories as to the origin of the mysterious event.
My story, Other Peoples Tsunamis, is a tale of magic, autism, and just a touch of chaos theory. It was also based on the soundtrack to the movie Flashdance.
It's also set in the same world as The Repatriation Heist, my contribution to Five Minutes At Hotel Stormcove, although the stories are not connected in any way. Both of them have autistic witches working with an agency to use their unique perspectives on magic to keep the world safe; in The Repatriation Heist, the focus is on spirits, not preserving the timeline, although I like to think the characters work for the same agency, just different branches.
