Taffeta “Taffy” O’Neal, a May MTSU graduate and University Honors College Buchanan Scholar, will be signing copies of her most recent fiction work, “The Last,” at Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville Thursday through Saturday, July 21-23.

O’Neal, whose pen name is Taffeta Chime, will be signing in the Delta Atrium from at least noon to 2 p.m. each day and she likely will be signing additional hours all three days. O’Neal, who graduated summa cum laude in English from the College of Liberal Arts, also will sign copies of her first book, “Stoodie.”

O’Neal will be studying the Chinese language and learning about Chinese history and culture at Hangzhou Normal University for the next academic year, thanks to a Confucius Institute scholarship allowing her to study abroad in China. HNU is paying full tuition, a book stipend, room and board and monthly living expenses.
