Only three steps away from Rigor Mortis

It has been pointed out to me, in a rather cheeky thread on the writers' site WriteWords, that my name is very similar to the phrase Rigor Mortis. It's like one of those word puzzles: How do you get from Roger Morris to Rigor Mortis in three steps?

The solution is:

ROGER MORRIS
>>>>>>>>>>
ROGOR MORRIS
>>>>>>>>>>
RIGOR MORRIS
>>>>>>>>>>
RIGOR MORTIS

I couldn't help thinking that Rigor Mortis would be quite a nifty nome de plume for a crime writer, though maybe it's a bit too extreme. Maybe Grigor Mortis would be better. More subtle, I think.

Hmmmm, that gives me an idea.
