Typing without Pain: How to avoid (or recover from) computer-related injuries (2008)
After typing in offices for about thirty years, I developed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in both wrists, DeQuervain's Syndrome in both thumbs, tendonitis in both forefingers, and a rotator cuff injury in my right shoulder. I went to several doctors and physical therapists, where I learned how to relieve the pain. I then did some research on how to prevent such injuries from occurring or getting worse.
In this book, I share tips on how to avoid computer-related injuries by finding the right equipment and furniture, setting up an ergonomically correct work area, developing healthy habits, and recognizing the symptoms of a repetitive-strain injury. I also describe warm-up, stretching, and strengthening exercises that can help muscles and tendons work to peak capacity without pain. Also included are effective ways to relieve the pain of a repetitive-strain injury.

Polishing the PUGS: Punctuation, Usage, Grammar, and Spelling (2007)
In this book I share some of the most common mechanical errors I see in the manuscripts I edit. Contains rules and spellings for books (based on The Chicago Manual of Style and Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, the US book publishing industry's standard references) as well as the different rules and spellings for articles (using The Associated Press Stylebook and Webster's New World College Dictionary, the industry standard references for newspapers and journalistic magazines).
Don't let "PUGS" errors decrease your chances of being accepted by a publisher!
Cecil Murphey, author and co-author of 99 books, says: "DON'T BUY A COPY OF KATHY IDE'S PUGS. That's right. Don't buy a copy. Buy two copies: one for yourself and one for someone you'd like to help.Grammar/punctuation books abound by the hundreds. Kathy's offers a service that's invaluable. Every time she gives a rule or principle, she cites the CMOS reference. I have two popular Christian style books on my desk. Both of them make statements without backing them up. I prefer to have the backing of CMOS on every bit of editing I do. Please take my advice: Buy at least two copies. Someone else will be glad you did."
