Since childhood, Kathy Biehl has scribbled down observations of human behavior and attempted to make sense of it. She gave up writing fiction long ago.  

Her anthologies mash up humor, social commentary and memoir: Confessions of a Third-Rate Goddess: Traipsing Through a World Gone Weird (9th House 2023) and Eat, Drink & Be Wary: Cautionary Tales (9th House 2021), which was shortlisted for the Eric Hoffer Award Grand Prize. Her work has also won awards from the Association of Food Journalists and Houston Press Club.

For three decades, she covered food, drink, and the behaviors they inspire. Her writing has also focused on off-beat travel and translating the technicalities of law as well as astrology for the mainstream. A decades-long contributor to mainstream periodicals, Kathy gained national underground renown in the 1990s as the publisher, Editrix, and main voice of the social commentary zine Ladies’ Fetish & Taboo Society Compendium of Urban Anthropology. She has co-authored or contributed to guides on legal Internet research, dining, and personal empowerment, including Your Guide to Self-Discovery: Twenty Ways to Find the True You (Llewellyn 2023).
