Some of our book club members with Mary Kay

Three years ago, I went with my book club to a luncheon at the Country Club that was a book signing of a new author that I had started reading.  Mary Kay Andrews.  As she was talking to the audience, she mentions that she is from St. Petersburg Fla.  She grew up there and moved to Atlanta when she got married right after high school.  Well, I just HAD to talk to her.  Found out that she went to Lakewood High School so we had a lot to talk about.  Last Spring, she came back to Decatur for another book signing so I went to see her again.  Well, she was invited back for the third time so I feel like she is my new best friend.  I just had to go have her sign my books that I have collected over the last year.  When she first started writing, she wrote under her real name, Kathy Hogan Trocheck.  Those first two books take place in St. Petersburg.  It's a series about a lady detective.  The others in that series, takes place in Atlanta.  All of her books are really fun to read.  A lot of them take place in Savannah which is one of the best cities ever to visit.  She says she will see us all next year......so looking forward to talking to her again.
