SHOW NOTES & LINKS

Sleeping with a Stranger - Audiobook

If you love Zimmerman Podcast and you end each episode thinking, “gosh, I just need more of this in my life…”, have I got the thing for you. I just got back from recording the audiobook for Sleeping with a Stranger and something about recording the book out loud made me both excited and terrified. It is by far the most exposed I’d ever felt, but for a listener, it’s the most personal way to take in the story. As a special treat, I’m releasing my audiobook seven days early on May 1st, 2020. AND if you buy the audiobook in the month of May and email your receipt to kellie@jessicazimmerman.com, you will be given a back-stage-pass to an online Sleeping with a Stranger special event with me and special guest Brian Zimmerman. He’s kind of the leading man in the story. So set a reminder for May 1st and buy the audiobook and email us your receipt to claim your backstage pass. Go to sleepingwithastranger.com to snag the audiobook on May 1st!
