Writings by Kathy Biehl
I live on the bridge between intuition and the rational mind, and that’s where my writing makes its home as well. My professional freelance writing has an emphasis on offbeat travel, food & wine, spirituality, law and the Internet. I have had longstanding relationships with The American Bar Association Journal, Diversion, Texas Monthly, My Table, LLRX.com and The Houston Press. I was also the driving force behind the long--lived ‘zine The Ladies’ Fetish & Taboo Society Compendium of Urban Anthropology. More about all that here.
Here are links to some of my writing online:
