About Us

Proprietors
Authors Schyrlet Cameron, Carolyn Craig, and Kathy Brown are pleased to announce the opening of HOME GROWN BOOKS. Partnering with Keen Bean Coffee Roasters of Mt. Vernon, Home Grown Books will display and sell books and musical CDs produced by local authors on shelves located inside the 60’s style coffee house.

The authors came up with the idea of a bookstore dedicated to promoting local talent after they experienced difficulty getting national bookstore chains interested in stocking their self-published book. Authors participating in the Not So Square Arts Festival held in Mt. Vernon in September complained they were faced with the same obstacle. The three authors decided it was time to take matters in their own hands and Home Grown Books was born. “We realize how difficult it is to get a traditional bookstore to place self-published books on their shelves. We saw a need to address this issue,” stated Schyrlet.

If you are an author, tired of your self-published books lying around collecting dust, here is your chance to have your talent recognized. The new business venture, Home Grown Books became operational on October 1st. The bookstore offers a wide variety of merchandise including, fiction and nonfiction books, musical CDs, and teacher resource materials appropriate for home, public, and private schools. If you are an author and wish to participate in this exciting new business venture, please contact us at homegrownbookstore@yahoo.com

She still has lots of pets on a small parcel of land near Ash Grove, Missouri, where she watches the squirrels and rabbits play, and she imagines all the wonderful things they talk about.
