NEW RELEASE:

 "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 

 "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

"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
