About this audiobook

At two in the morning, Henrik Vold's phone rings with a boy who watches the ships load out by the cranes because the lights help. Henrik is fifty-four, a municipal lift repairman, a man who trusts machines because they complain in ways he understands. The call is a mistake, a misrouted line meant for Lykke, the app that is supposed to talk lonely people through the dark. No one will fix the fault, so the strangers keep coming: the widow who only reports the weather, the girl certain she is speaking to a bot.

He starts to need them. He starts to know their voices in shop queues. And then one of them mentions a room, a place inside the app where the sleepless hold each other up, and a name he once gave his own daughter, the year before she died.

On the hall table, face-down in the drawer, a letter he has never opened waits.

THE WRONG NUMBER is a novel about the difference between fixing someone and being there when they fall.

About the author

Kim Aronson is a writer, teacher, and intuitive guide working at the intersection of psychology, nervous system awareness, and lived human experience.

His work focuses on the quiet patterns that shape how people relate, belong, and lose themselves, often long before they have words for what is happening. Rather than offering techniques or quick transformation, Kim’s writing invites a slower kind of understanding: one that respects timing, emotional safety, and the intelligence of survival strategies formed early in life.

Alongside his writing, Kim offers an intuitive reading practice, working with individuals who feel emotionally stuck, relationally uncertain, or disconnected from their own inner authority. These sessions are less about prediction and more about orientation, helping people recognize patterns, name what they are sensing, and rebuild trust in their own perception. This work continually informs his writing, grounding it in real lives rather than abstract theory.

Kim is the author of many books on self-development, relationships, emotional literacy, and consciousness. His approach blends psychological insight with reflective storytelling, offering language for experiences that are often felt deeply but rarely articulated clearly. His work resonates especially with readers who are thoughtful, sensitive, and self-aware, yet still struggle with boundaries, voice, and presence in close relationships.

More of Kim’s writing, books, and current projects can be found on his websites, where he continues to explore themes of relational honesty, emotional embodiment, and conscious self-expression.
