Obsession Trilogy debuts with a suspenseful,
romantic story of discovery and dealing
with the realities of love, friendship, and money
to learn what will make us whole
Volume I of Bruce K Beck’s Obsession Trilogy, INK OBSESSED
New York, New York. August 1, 2019
A large, beautiful tattoo piques the narrator’s interest one morning at the gym. And then he realizes the tattoo is but one feature of the young man who wears it. He decides the rest is even better. Clement Tyler is forty-two when readers first meet him. And the object of his obsession, Dominick, is in his early twenties—and most likely straight. Clem is a comfortably affluent self-employed businessman with a broken heart. Dom is a mysterious kid with a past and lots of secrets. Will they forge a relationship?
INK OBSESSED, the first volume of Bruce K Beck’s Obsession Trilogy, follows the narrator, Clem, and the object of his obsession, Dom, as they try to build an unlikely bond. Nothing is easy: Every moment of simple pleasure is bought with harrowing experiences that leave Clem exposed to danger—even the possibility of murder. Clem is fortunate to have extraordinary friends and relations who help him navigate the journey. INK OBSESSED is suspenseful, but it’s also tender, funny, intensely erotic, and deeply invested in the emotional lives of the characters as they search for what will complete them.
Praise for Volume I of the Love Trilogy:
“Bruce K Beck’s debut novel brings us a naturally gifted and richly imaginative storyteller whose characters leap off the page. YOU’RE SURE TO FALL IN LOVE sweeps us back into a Summer of Love that is sure to remind readers of how it feels to be young and starry-eyed. I didn’t want this book to end.”
—James Gavin (author of Is That All There Is?: The Strange Life of Peggy Lee, and Stormy Weather: The Life of Lena Horn)
Praise for Volume II of the Love Trilogy:
“Bruce K Beck’s LOVE AND THE EPIDEMIC is a beautiful, clear-eyed memory of friends lost to AIDS. Without sentiment, and with deep respect, the narrator remembers their lives vividly and joyfully. Beck brings us to the edge of grief, but at last he helps us see not just loss, but rather the great love and friendship that marked one of our darkest times. The second volume in his trilogy, it can be read on its own, but you will be compelled to read the complete work. If memory is a solace, Beck’s stories are a compelling and human response to what memory allows that is valuable and urgent in history.”
—Philip F Clark, author of The Carnival of Affection
