You might try the books "Think like a Grandmaster" and "Play like
a Grandmaster", by, I think, Kotov.

Play in tournaments, if you don't already.

Postal chess could also help with your game.  For something like $10
you can enter the USCF Golden Knights tournament, which will give you
six opponents in the first round, and six in the second.

Finally, if you have the money, a good chess computer can probably
help.  There are some available that are around Class A or even
Expert strength.  Try to get one with a clock.
