🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Mary Kay Andrews
She spent the next several years working as a reporter for various papers, at one time spending 11 years with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. 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’. It wasn’t until 1991 that she put her career aside and chose to focus her efforts solely on writing fiction. 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.
