The Geeks of the Geeky Side
Tyra Burton
Tyra is a social media muse, award-winning professor, gamer-girl, and lover of all things geeky. She grew up playing card games, watching Star Trek and Quincy, ME, and reading Asimov and Agatha Christie. This strange combination produced a gamer-geek who loves mysteries, World of Warcraft, police procedurals, and science-fiction and fantasy. She writes in both the fiction and non-fiction worlds. Her book on social media, Socially Engaged, targets authors and how they can utilize social. Her first science-fiction novel, Penduli Station, was released in August 2018. She loves dark chocolate, Jameson & Ginger Ale, Ireland, and her two dogs and kitty. She wants to grow up to be Princess Leia, Wonder Woman, or, most likely, Penelope Garcia from Criminal Minds. An eternal DragonCon member, she met her husband there in 2009 at a Lord of the Rings concert. They live happily in their house in the woods with their socially engaging fur babies.
