A red ink cloud with a single heart-shaped flower in the center with the words Bleeding Hearts, A Killian Kendall Mystery by Josh Aterovis

Killian Kendall is used to being overlooked, even at home. That's about to change with the arrival of a new kid at school. Seth is openly gay and, for reasons he can't really understand, Killian finds himself drawn to him. When the boy is killed in a brutal attack, and Killian is injured in the process, he begins to questions everything. The police are eager to label the attack as a random mugging, but Killian was there. He knows better. With the help of the murdered boy's father and his friends, Killian starts his own investigation, but his search turns up hatred in small town America.

Originally published in 2001, this story has been updated a few times over the years. It was most recently published in 2017, but is now out of print after that publisher went out of business. This is currently the only place you can read this story legally. Some day, I hope the themes of this story are no longer relevant.

Bleeding Hearts is a murder mystery so there are deaths in the story, sometimes described graphically. This story also includes themes of abuse and violence.
