Peter J Murray

Peter Murray grew up in the Industrial North and entered the teaching profession at the age of thirty. Since then he has never looked back and his pupils have provided inspiration for his passion of writing and telling stories, often in school assemblies.

Peter has always enjoyed entertaining children with stories and games, and one of his nieces recently recalled an upgraded game of Hide and Seek involving a sinister character called MOKEE JOE. The fact that this invented name had stood the test of time and had stuck in her memory for fifteen years (she is now 22) inspired Peter to recreate his spooky character within a novel.

He now constantly tours this country and abroad, doing presentations in schools and festivals.
