A native of St. Petersburg, Florida, she earned a B.A. in journalism from The University of Georgia. After a 14-year career working as a reporter at newspapers including The Savannah Morning News, The Marietta Journal, and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, where she spent the final ten years of her career, she left journalism in 1991 to write fiction.
Her first novel, Every Crooked Nanny, was published in 1992 by HarperCollins. She went on to write ten critically acclaimed mysteries under her real name, Kathy Hogan Trocheck. In 2002, she assumed the pen name Mary Kay Andrews with the publication of Savannah Blues.

To date, her novels have been published in German, Italian, Polish, Slovenian, Hungarian, Dutch, Czech and Japanese.
She and her family divide their time between Atlanta and Tybee Island, GA, where they cook up new recipes in two restored beach homes, The Breeze Inn and Ebbtide—both named after fictional places in Mary Kay’s novels, and both available to rent through Tybee Vacation Rentals. In between cooking, spoiling her grandkids, and plotting her next novel, Mary Kay is an intrepid treasure hunter whose favorite pastime is junking and fixing up old houses.

Although I was hesitant on the seemingly mundane story, "Summer Rental" quickly peaked my interest. To be quite frank, I was surprised I was enjoy the story so much. The characters of the girls immediately allowed the reader to feel right at home, a familiar feeling of being surrounded with girlfriends. The somewhat slow-burn romance was sweet and had a surprisingly nice hint of spice to it. This book made me realize that not every literature has to leave me in a heart wrenching slump. Safe to say I can see myself picking up the book many more times.
Highlights: outside shower
Now, "Spring Fever" on the other hand. I absolutely could not enjoy. I tend to not read a story's synopsis beforehand as I enjoy a blank slate. However, I happened to catch drift that it was a second-chance romance and was immediately deterred. Although, I told myself I enjoyed the previous read so much I might as well give it a shot. I gave myself 100 pages and found that my intial reaction held true.
