Hi! I'm Tom McCaughren. Latest News!! I thought my young readers would like to know that three of my adventure books, The
Legend of the Golden Key, The Legend of the Phantom Highwayman and The Legend of the Corrib King have
been revised and updated. The new editions have been published by Mercier Press and you can see the photographs of them on
the next page. I think the covers are lovely and I hope you agree.
More news!!! My six fox books are to
be translated into Chinese. A number of my books have already been translated into foreign languages including German, Swedish, Japanese,
Korean, French, Dutch, Danish and Latvian. The Chinese editions will bring the total number of translations to twenty.
The
new editions of my fox books have been selling well. The first five in the series, Run with the Wind, Run to Earth, Run Swift
Run Free, Run to the Ark and Run to the Wild Wood have beautiful new covers and are in bigger print. Run for Cover,
which is number six in the series has also gone into paperback for the first time.
I've written fifteen books altogether, most of them for children and young adults. My novels
are fictional but often revolve around actual historical events, such as the Irish Rebellion in 1798. They have won five awards for literature including The White Ravens from
the International Youth Library in Munich, the Reading Association of Ireland Award, the Irish Book Medal, the Bisto/Children's
Book Trust Books of the Decade Award and the Oscar Wilde Society Literary Recognition Award.
