- Hi! I'm Tom McCaughren, and I've good news for my young readers. **NEW EDITIONS of my fox books have now been published**. 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 been given 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. For a while back, when Merlin Publishers were taking over from Wolfhound Press, the fox books had sold out. But now, for the third time in their publishing history, there are new editions. I'm delighted and I'm sure you will be too. 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.
- A number of my books have been translated into foreign languages including German, Swedish, Japanese, French, Dutch, Danish, Latvian and Korean. They have also 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.
