    About this ebook

    Her parents taught Annalee to never sing, told her she had no talent, despite having a mega-pop-star half-sister.

    Then a drunken night of karaoke releases Annalee power—a power her parents had desperately sought to contain. A power that causes government agencies to perk up and take notice.

    Dammit.

    Originally published in Hex in the City, “The Sound of My Own Voice” shows why USA Today bestselling author Dean Wesley Smith calls Dayle A. Dermatis “one of the best writers working today.”

      I flagged down the Vietnamese waiter and asked for a refill on my iced tea. Then I dropped the phone in the tea, sloshing some on the table in the process, left a generous tip, and walked out.

      Los Angeles on a sultry summer night. It wasn’t quite dark yet, the sky still showing a pinkish-yellow glow in the west. Except in downtown proper, there aren’t any high-rises (what with earthquakes and all), so except for the traffic, sometimes it didn’t feel as city-ish in places.
