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

Trocheck 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.
