Mokee Joe

Peter J Murray was born and brought up in Rotherham. He left the declining steel industry back in 1979 and entered the teaching profession, taking up a first appointment as a Maths teacher at Aston Comprehensive School. Fifteen years later, Peter progressed to Assistant Head of the famous Cheam School in Berkshire. Since the release of Peter’s first children’s novel Mokee Joe is Coming, his popular and spooky stories have been met with critical acclaim and continue to engage even the most reluctant of readers. Peter carries out lively and engaging presentations centred around his books in schools across the UK and around the world.
