      Parts 6
    In the heart of a city that worships profit without knowing it, Silas Crowe, known to those who notice him as Greed, presides over his empire with precision and quiet dominance. Yet even the most meticulous calculations are vulnerable, and an unexpected choice threatens to unravel the balance he has maintained for decades. A new figure rises from the shadows, a Sin as yet unnamed, whose presence begins to challenge Silas' station, testing his control, his judgment, and the limits of influence built over years of secrecy. The Seven may still hold power, but one misstep could shift the scales, and what was once assumed eternal becomes perilously fragile.

    Sex, drugs, scandals, murder, suicides and President Warren G. Harding. THE BLOVIATOR is a satirical novel, "a fiction fueled by fact," based on the true, last (and unbelievably bizarre) 6 months in the life of America's 29th President. THE BLOVIATOR is an epic, a massive and sprawling work - it is history as absurdity, as if it were being filtered through a cracked prism - but the prism is not cracked as most of the story told is unbelievably, incredibly true.

    On a futuristic planet in the city of New Ornath, Velma Holt works as a homicide detective with her partner Lance Walker. When the two begin to investigate what seems to be an open and shut case, they discover that the body is the victim of time theft- stealing years of someone's life and giving them to someone else. The case is reassigned to the time department and a suspect is swiftly arrested, but Velma isn't convinced he's the true killer. When she begins work on another case, she realizes that the two murders may be related. Convincing the police department of the two case's relation is another thing entirely, and as she continues the investigation, Velma realizes that the crime conspiracy is big enough to affect the whole city- and it's up to her to put a stop to it.
