A special book signing planned for Thursday features Patriot Talon columnist Tina Bausinger, whose writing appears in the national bestselling "Chicken Soup for the Soul" book series.

The signing is set for 11 a.m. in the new campus Barnes and Noble bookstore. Bausinger, an award-winning writer, is an English major at the University.

Her short story, Dad's Tomatoes, appears in the new "Chicken Soup for the Soup: Thanks Dad. 101 Stories about Gratitude, Love and Good Times." Bausinger wrote the story as a tribute to her father, who died in 2003.

A second of her stories is scheduled to appear in July in the new "Chicken Soup for the Soul: Runners."

Bausinger writes a humor column, The Flip Side, which appears weekly in the Talon. Her short story, "Picking Tomatoes," was featured last year in Tyler Junior College's literary magazine.

She placed first as Best Short Story at the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association Awards, a statewide contest where writers of many different genres compete against other Texas colleges and universities.
