A mysterious organism starts killing off the oceans...

Can an Inexperienced Scientist Stop the Deadly Red Tide from Spreading?

Diane Nelson has finally achieved her childhood dream. A recent Ph.D. graduate delighting in the chance to work for her hero, the twenty-five-year-old marine biologist is determined to solve why algae are destroying all life in and above the sea. But when a shooting incident in her new lab leaves one man dead, the unnerved woman fears something more sinister could be at play.

Joining her boss and three lab mates on an expedition to track down the organism's origin, Diane struggles to know who to trust. But after she defies company orders and uncovers a shocking conspiracy, the naïve researcher’s future could depend on separating friend from foe…

Can she contain the source before her world turns bloodred?

Bleeding Sea is a slick and riveting eco-thriller. If you like complex characters, heart-wrenching drama, and thought-provoking themes, then you’ll love K.A. Kirtland’s powerfully dark tale.

Testimonials for the book: Bleeding Sea

"The oceans are dying. A fast-spreading toxic algae is killing everything it touches, and humanity is faced with the question: Is this how the world ends, not with a bang, but with an invasive species that destroys the planet’s most important ecosystem? As every scientist on earth scrambles to find a way to stop the runaway growth, Diane Nelson, the young researcher, and unlikely heroine of this chilling eco-thriller, knows stopping the infestation is useless if its source cannot be found.

If K.A. Kirtland’s Bleeding Sea doesn’t frighten you then you’re not paying attention."
—Daniel Burke, author of Red Screen

An Engaging Mystery About Environmental Destruction

"Kirtland uses her own background in marine biology and environmental science to spin an intriguing, action-packed tale about planetary ruin and human corruption. ... readers are sure to find the real-world science behind this well-paced story fascinating—and existentially terrifying.

An engaging mystery about environmental destruction."

—Kirkus Reviews

A Gripping Eco-Thriller with a Race Against Time

"The Bleeding Sea not only offers readers a gripping eco-thriller with a race against time as selfish interests upend the natural world, but this novel also provides complex, sympathetic characters with warring motivations. Diane's internal conflict between her need for justice and her admirable sense of loyalty create a realistic struggle every bit as compelling as her battle to heal the bleeding sea."

—George Weinstein, award-winning author of Watch What You Say and Hardscrabble Road

Superb Tension...Makes Science Come Alive...

“If you’ve never read an eco-thriller, Bleeding Sea is an excellent introduction to the genre. With superb pacing, tension, and just the right amount of detail, this book will keep you turning pages well into the night. Kirtland makes science come alive in a way that manages to be both seamlessly informative and endlessly fascinating all at once.”

—Kim Conrey, award-winning author of Stealing Ares
