Ann Elsewhere

Goodreads has a sampling of books I have read, am currently reading, and will read.
I'm also on the eHarlequin forum because the Carina Press PTB strongly recommended it.
The Not-so-deep Thoughts is my where you'll find my reviews, writing tips, web site tips, rants, other ramblings, and contests.

Ann's Publishers

Writing Stuff

The Chicago Manual of Style is the bible of publishing.
JA Konrath's A Newbie's Guide to Publishing is both entertaining (like his Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels series) and insightful and can give writers a much-needed kick in the pants.
Jennifer Crusie has occasional posts on writing that are excellent guides for writers of all genres and levels.
Purdue University's Online Writing Lab has both the APA and MLA style guides.
William Strunk, Jr.'s The Elements of Style is a "classic reference book [that] is a must-have for any student and conscientious writer."

Geek Stuff

Chrome isn't as full-featured as Firefox, but it's a speed demon.
Firefox is, IMHO, the best web browser currently available.
HTML Goodies will "help new and growing website developers learn their trade, and to provide them with tips, guides and reference sets for their use as they become more accomplished."
Jakob Nielsen's alertbox, reports, and books on usable information technologies.
W3Schools Online Web Tutorials is the world's largest web development site.
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) "develops interoperable technologies (specifications, guidelines, software, and tools) to lead the Web to its full potential."

Fun Stuff

The Purple Dictionary of Historical Romance is absolutely hilarious! With things like "Cod piece: Fillet of cod, served rolled and protruding; can be very filling," how can it not be?
The Purple Prose Parody is for romance readers and non-romance readers alike. Sometimes I laughed so hard, my sides hurt.
SlushPile Hell. One grumpy literary agent, a sea of query fails, and other publishing nonsense.
