Why the name
"Red Cloak Island"?
Many authors use their own name as the name of their blog or website, or a name from one of their most popular works. I was going to use my name, but then I found that the website www.joemosher.com was already in use by a gentlemen by the same name who sells houses in Ohio. That's not me. You won't find my books on his website, just as this is not the place to find a cozy two-bedroom condo. So instead of my name I decided to use the name of my first middle-grade book series, which is set on Red Cloak Island, the home of the world's first (and perhaps only) top-secret school for superheroes. From above, the island looks like a volcano sticking up out of the sea with smoking red lava ready to erupt, but the "lava" is really a cleverly-designed red dome that hides the school buildings that are built inside the island's walls. To learn more about the island, and the special kids that go to school there, check out the Red Cloak Island series of books here (or click the 'Books' link above.)
Bonus info: Before
deciding to call it the Red Cloak Island series of books, I considered
calling it the Sixth-Grade Superheroes series. Then I learned that there are
already several other great stories available that use variations on this name.
