Books by Elaine Woods
From poets to mystery writers, the beauty of place attracts many artists and writers to Whidbey Island, Whether it is a trail through woodlands of towering hemlock and maple, a misty beach on a foggy morning, or a lively neighborhood coffee shop, Whidbey Island provides inspiration for writing.
Many of these writers illustrate their own work. The books below are written and illustrated by Whidbey Walks founder Elaine Woods.
