Local Author in Medina County: My Book Is Coming to Buehler’s Gift Shop

Big news, friends — my book Why Plants Die and Other Happy Thoughts is officially headed to Buehler’s Fresh Foods gift shops in Medina County! From September 15 through November 16, you’ll be able to find it right in the heart of the gift section at the Medina River Styx, Pearl Road, and Wadsworth Buehler’s locations.

This is such a special moment for me as a local author in Medina County. Buehler’s is more than a grocery store, it’s a community hub where people pick up flowers, balloons, and meaningful gifts. To have my book displayed there feels like a dream planted in local soil finally sprouting.

A Display That Stands Out

I’ll be setting up a cozy display with acrylic stands and a sign that proudly says: “Local Author.” My goal is to help shoppers see that Why Plants Die and Other Happy Thoughts isn’t just a book — it’s a gift with heart, written right here in our own community.

Author Signing Events at Buehler’s

I’ll also be hosting Meet the Author signings during this display period. These events are a chance to chat, ask questions, and pick up a signed copy of my book. Dates will be posted on my Roots OMG Events Page, so be sure to check back to find out when!

Why This Matters

Having a book in a store like Buehler’s is about more than sales. It’s about connection, community, and celebrating local voices. When you shop local and support a local author, you’re helping stories take root and grow.

If you visit a Buehler’s gift shop this fall and buy Why Plants Die and Other Happy Thoughts, snap a photo and tag me on social media @eileencolette_ (on Tiktok, or Roots_OMG on IG). Let’s spread the word that Medina County has stories worth sharing. 🌱✨
