Tyra Burton

Biography

Tyra Burton, a true Southern girl, grew up reading Asimov and Agatha Christie, when not watching Star Trek or Quincy, MD. This strange combination produced a gamer-geek who loves science fiction, mysteries, police procedurals, and, of course, World of Warcraft.

With a passion for dark chocolate, Jameson & Ginger Ale, Ireland and beaches, Tyra has always wanted to be Princess Leia, Wonder Woman, or, most likely, Penelope Garcia from Criminal Minds. At her university day job, Professor Tyra teaches on a variety subjects, including social media, entertainment marketing, gaming, and gender and sexuality in pop culture. She is also a social media strategist and co-author of Socially Engaged: The Author’s Guide to Social Media with Jana Oliver.

Tyra met the man of her dreams at a Lord of the Rings concert and now she and her husband live happily in their house in the woods with their three socially-engaging fur babies.
