Defined as “legends” by daughters Clila Bau-Cohen and Hadasa Bau, today marks the multi-format publication for the timeless family memoir-meets-historical espionage thriller BAU: Artist At War by Joseph Bau ()!💜🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒💜

Dear Readers,
Joseph Bau’s memoir moved me to believe that this film could change lives. Starting with me…

It is more important than ever for artists to stand up and use their art to change the world. To protect and focus a lens on the terrible and beautiful things that happen every day around each and every one of us. To stand up to injustice through whatever art is yours. Paintings, songs, poems, and films.

I hope I conveyed one-tenth of Joseph’s genius and brilliance as an artist and savior of so many innocents. May many more stand on his shoulders. We can change the world. A charcoal drawing. A watercolor. A sculpture, or a movie made by a director whose only dream in life is to inspire the artist in all of us.

I really do believe that hope and kindness are the keys to the future. I learned that is possible from the incredible art gifted to us by Joseph Bau.

Whether you’re a seasoned comic book buff or lover of world-expanding literature, an action-packed awaits you!🦹🎉🌟 BLOODSHOT by The New York Times bestselling author Fred Van Lente (narrated by ) is available NOW!📆If you’re located in , join Fred *TONIGHT* for an in-person launch party and book signing hosted by our buds at The BookMark Shoppe!
_________
Dear Readers,
It's rare when your two favorite worlds merge together. Today that's happening for me with the publication of my novel BLOODSHOT, based on the popular Valiant Comics character. My first prose novel was published around the same time I started my involvement with the Valiant Universe as a comics scripter, and at the time I never dreamed I would one day get to combine one with the other. The challenge was to infuse the action, adventure and excitement of a Bloodshot comic with the deep character immersion and energetic prose I try to bring to my other novels. I am pretty thrilled with the way it turned out. I hope you are too.

Whether you're a longtime Bloodshot fan or just think that's an amazing cover by Mico Suyan (like I do) and wonder what it's all about, fear not: This book's for you. A young woman and her brother discover a young man with chalk-white skin in the middle of the woods one morning. He has no memory of who he is, and is as astounded as everyone around him by his ability to talk to machines and heal from any injury. He'd also like to know why he's so good at killing people. Soon, he finds himself having to solve the mystery of his identity while on the run from the shadowy elites who want to capture him along with his young friends, who turn out to have extraordinary abilities of their own.

If you're looking for an exciting new universe to lose yourself in, good news! You've found it. Though I wouldn't trust anybody while you're visiting. At least you're doing better than Bloodshot--he can't even trust himself.
_________
Onward,
Fred Van Lente
