- 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 were given beautiful new covers by Merlin who took over from Wolfhound Press. They
are also in bigger print now. Run for Cover, which is number six in the series also went into paperback for the first time.
For a while back, when Merlin Publishers were taking over from Wolfhound Press, the fox books were sold out. But now, for
the third time in their publishing history, there are new editions.
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.
