As you folks know, StarMage is currently funding via KickStarter. Some of you might not know how this whole thing works:
Here’s the link: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1954568853/starmage-1
Basically the way this works is you can contribute as little as $1 to whatever you want. The more you contribute, the better the reward you get for being a backer.
Better yet – you won’t be charged ANYTHING until the project is 
funded 29 days from now. If it fails to reach its goal, you will not be charged a cent.
StarMage is sci-fi fantasy geared for YA crowd – it is kid safe (no nudity/sex or gratuitous violence). Think Harry Potter in Space.
You can help one of two ways….
First: back me up!
It’s easy (especially if you’ve ever bought anything from Amazon)!
• Go to the link above.
• Click the green “Back this Project” button
• Choose your amount you feel comfortable with (again, this won’t charge for 29 days….or ever if we don’t get funded)
• Pick the reward level associated with the amount you contributed
• Check out like you would at Amazon!
Second: Help spread the word!
Maybe you’re not into comics. Maybe you don’t have kids or think sci-fi is baloney. Or you just don’t have the funds right now to contribute. That’s fine – you can still do me a huge solid by getting the world out to your peeps – co-workers, family and friends. Anyone you think might have the slightest interest. If you do the social media thing: tweet it, blog it, LJ it or FB it! The more people know about the more chance it will have to be successful.
Thanks guys! Appreciate any help you can give.

PRLog (Press Release) - May 16, 2013 - KickStarter has had its share of comic successes but today there’s a new story being written.
JC De La Torre’s StarMage project has been released and it boasts some very interesting themes.
“Its got a Harry Potter meets the Last Starfighter vibe to it,” says De La Torre, writer and creator of the new series. De La Torre is a published author with two novels, a short story collection and three novella length e-books.
De La Torre is also co-host of the sci-fi and fantasy podcastTransmissions From Atlantis.
Star Mage is about Darien Connors, a gifted 14 year old boy who discovers that not only is he not human but he’s part of an ancient war between alien magical races. While he learns of his legacy, destiny and importance to the battle, Darien establishes bonds with new, strange friends and learns his magical craft of Kishpu.
The first series consists of all of these elements as well as setting up the mythology of the Sarru Kishpu, the world of Eridu and their enemies. We’re introduced to Darien’s three friends – Unura, Tirwa and Anthaar – each aliens with their own powers that become crucial in the end game against their hated enemy Orasmas Xul Sarrum. We’re introduced to the school – Lambdu Kishpu. We learn of the hierarchy of the royal court and parliament of Eridu. While the story starts on Earth, we will be taken to the far reaches of the galaxy, meet new races and discover strange new worlds.
The first issue was illustrated by comic industry veteran and ultra-talented Ray Dillon, whose credits include the Game of Thrones webcomic, NY Times best selling graphic novel The Last Unicorn and RL Stine’s web comic series.
Both writer and Illustrator hope to raise enough funds to secure printing of at least the first issue and possibly the entire first series with the ultimate goal of having the comic printed by a major comics publisher.
