J.D. Peabody has been honing his storytelling skills since childhood, in contexts as varied as advertising, song lyrics, screenplays, and sermons. The Inkwell Chronicles: The Ink of Elspet was his children's literature debut, and he is thrilled to follow Everett and Bea on their further adventures. He and his wife live in the rainy but beautiful Pacific Northwest. J.D. is also the author of Perfectly Suited: The Armor of God for the Anxious Mind.
