Miranda Twist grew up in the Scottish highlands. She studied Archaeology and Anthropology at Edinburgh University where she also ran the mythopoeic society. Once in a Blue Moon is her first book for children. 'I am a poet and a story teller. I began as a poet, writing my first poem when I was just six. Then I fell in love with stories and the magic of words. I like to paint with words in new and interesting ways that take the reader by surprise. You may find something funny and something really creepy side by side.'

'A mad-dash fever dream of a book peppered with magic, fancy, and just a little bit of soul.' Kirkus Reviews. 'A wonderfully inventive story about the power of imagination with a touch of darkness that reminded me of The Enchanted Wood.' Alison Moore, author of the Lighthouse, short listed for the Man Booker prize.
