Inkwell Chronicles: The Ink of Elspet


J.D. Peabody


When their father goes missing after a mysterious train crash, Everett and his little sister Bea find a curious pen in his belongings, and its magical Ink begins to rewrite their once-ordinary lives. The Ink leads them to a world they never knew existed-one teeming with impossible magic, formidable allies, and villains who are determined to destroy everything they hold dear. Together, Everett and Bea embark on an adventure through secret tunnels in England and Scotland to find and protect the last Inkwell, and ultimately to save their father. But in order to do so, Everett must find a way to tap into the most magical power of all: his courage.

Perfect for fans of The Silver Arrow, the Bookwanderers, and Inkheart, this classic battle of good and evil pits creativity against the forces that would seek to blot it out for good.

J.D. Peadbody has always loved a good story. His childhood memories are full of inventing stories, acting them out or losing myself in them. The book that first captured his imagination in a big way was Prince Caspian, by C.S. Lewis. He hadn’t even read the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but he was immediately pulled into the world of Narnia. Peabody still regularly read fiction intended for a far younger audience, always in search of a tale that will once again transport me to another place.

When he grew up, Peabody started his career in advertising and public relations, sharpening his writing skills by telling mini-stories on behalf of various clients. Then he switched professions and became a pastor, focusing on a much bigger story.

Now he is trying to write for both kids and adults, letting all the various ages of him work and play together. His first two books were both years in the writing, but they both ended up getting publishing contracts within about a week of each other. The first is Perfectly Suited: The Armor of God for the Anxious Mind, which arrives Summer of 2022 (Tyndale/Aspire). The second is The Inkwell Chronicles: The Ink of Elspet, which lands on shelves in Fall of 2022 (Hachette/Worthy Kids).
