Welcome to Words That Stay

Welcome to Words That Stay, my little corner of the web. And considering the web is now comprised of over 27 billion websites, it is a VERY little corner indeed. But small or not, it’s mine and if you’re here, I need to assume you have interest in my life, career or in reading about professional camel racing, which are the three topics I tend to blog about the most. That’s unless you wandered into this site expecting to find the old Words That Stay. The one where I used to call myself Morpheus.

Yeah, that doesn’t exist anymore. Sorry.

Regardless of why you’re here, I’m going to assume you know who I am. If you don’t, you can read my bio page or look over my past projects. And if you know me, you probably know about what to expect from this website.

Then again, maybe not. You see, one of the reasons I created a website for myself is because most of my professional writing has been in the comic book medium, but that’s not all I write. In addition to comics, I also write a lot of short fiction and humor, but until Apple gets into the short story business, there’s never going to be much interest in short fiction. Not from publishers, at any rate.

So while I doubt I’ll be posting all of my short fiction here, I will be posting some. In fact, I’ve already added a couple of short stories and one attempt at David Sedaris-like autobiography (written long before he was publishing). They’re all in the fiction section. I’m hoping this website gives you a chance to see a type of writing from me that you may not be accustomed to. And if some of you are reading it, I might just have motivation to write more of it as well.

Of course, I’m not only going to be writing short fiction here. I’m sure I’ll be blogging about things as the mood strikes me, sharing previews of my current projects, discussing books and comics you should be reading, movies you should be watching and black magic rituals you should be performing with your mates the next time you’re bored on a Friday night. I also expect this site to change and evolve over the months ahead. After all, if I expect you to spend time sitting in this little corner, it’s up to me to keep things interesting.
