Spotlight: Geeky Giving

What is Geeky Giving?

Each month Geeky Giving will produce a bundle of exclusive short stories and novellas.

The first monthly bundle will be available starting Feb. 22, 2016, and will be delivered as a thank you for making a donation of at least $5. Know you’re going to want all four bundles? A $25 donation to Barrow scores you every monthly bundle.

At the end of this project, there are plans to create a complete anthology of all stories with a special capstone story not available anywhere else. Print and e-book copies will be available.
