Questioned about her decision to write under a pen name, Andrews described it as a turning point in her literary career. Mary Kay Andrews is a combination of her children’s names (her daughter Mary Kathleen and her son, Andy). She would go on to author ten mystery novels over the next eight years under her real name, Katy Hogan Trocheck, eventually making the switch to Mary Kay Andrews in 2002, this marking a transformation in her writing style. It wasn’t until 1991 that she put her career aside and chose to focus her efforts solely on writing fiction.
With her professional journalism career starting in Savannah, Georgia, Andrews’ work frequently brought her into direct contact with real life murder trials, experiences such as this influencing the work she did on books like ‘Midnight in The Garden of Good and Evil’. She spent the next several years working as a reporter for various papers, at one time spending 11 years with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. +Biography Born in July 1954, Mary Kay Andrews graduated from the University of Georgia in 1976 with a degree in journalism. Born Kathy Hogan Trocheck, Mary Kay Andrews is an American writer that has authored numerous bestsellers under the pen name.
