Claims
Peter J. Murray has claimed that he got the name "Mokee Joe" from when he was playing hide and seek with his kids and when he was looking for them, he shouted "Mokee Joe is coming". In years time, he was reminded of Mokee Joe, so he decided to become a full-time author. Peter is in contact with Escape from Scorpion Island Series 1 adventurer James Holder as they met when Peter visited James's school. Peter has sold his rights to make a film of the Mokee Joe books. The film came out in late 2009.
