Breadpig Blog: Purveyor & Publisher of All Things Geek

Our latest publication, Trial of the Clone, is rocking kickstarter

Posted by Alexis Ohanian on

We've been floored by how well-received our fundraiser has gone so far. We've already reached the milestone for the Geek Celeb Audiobook; there will be a sequel if we hit $100,000!
