She blogs, tweets, Facebooks….and in between is always at work on her next novel. Married to her high school sweetheart and the mother of two grown children, she divides her time between homes in Atlanta and Tybee Island, Georgia. Andrews’s novels are often informed by her own love of junking, fixing up derelict beach houses, cooking, entertaining and dealing with family dramas and traumas. She also published 10 critically-acclaimed mysteries under her real name, Kathy Hogan Trocheck, before launching her debut as a women’s fiction novelist. A former reporter for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, she writes funny, heart-felt novels about women who’ve been knocked down and kicked around – but never defeated.
