NEORWA -- is my local RWA chapter.  I love them. :)

Romance Writers of America -- RWA is a great organization.  Check out the published author's page and I'm sure you'll find more than a few of your favorites listed.  There are chapters all over the country and more than a few specialty chapters that "meet" online.

The Beau Monde -- is the online specialty chapter of RWA for Regency Romance authors.  These men and women are actually my first resource in answering questions about the Regency and teaching me just how much I don't know about the period.

The Republic of Pemberley -- is a group devoted to the books of Jane Austen.  They are also very knowledgeable about the period but you should read through their boards and archives first before posing any questions.

Deb Lawson's Historical Research Page -- There are so many places on the web to cruise for information, I like sites like Deb's that offer one stop to find what I'm looking for quickly. 

Internet Movie Database -- because movies are my second love and sometimes you just have to find out the name of that actress who looks like the heroine in your next book. 

Stacy's Place On Earth -- I met Stacy at Lori Foster's Readers and Writers event in June 2006.  I really enjoy reading her take on books, films, music, men,  life and everything Stacy. (And I'm not saying that just because she liked my book. :) )
