Mary Kay Andrews (born July 27, 1954)[1] is the pen name of American writer Kathy Hogan Trocheck, based in Savannah, Georgia, who has authored a number of best-selling books under the Andrews pen name since 2002.[2]

Trochek graduated from the University of Georgia with a journalism degree in 1976. She worked as a reporter at a number of papers, and spent 11 years as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution before leaving to write fiction full-time in 1991.[3] She published ten mystery novels under her own name between 1992 and 2000, and switched to the Andrews pen name in 2002 to author Savannah Blues, which marked a change in her style to more Southern-flavored themes. Her pen name is inspired by the names of her children, Mary Kathleen and Andrew Trocheck.
