Note: Edited 3/12/09
I have started a few more websites and blogs, which is one reason I have fallen so far behind in my reviews. The fiction related sites are:
http://www.squidoo.com/nearlynothingbutnovels
http://www.squidoo.com/groups/crimefictiongroup
http://www.squidoo.com/crimefiction
Then, there are the environmental sites that I've been spending a lot of time on:
http://greenchemistry.wordpress.com/
care2.com as chemrat1 (This site is great but has overwhelmed me with requests and email)
http://www.squidoo.com/solarpowerlens
http://www.squidoo.com/groups/Sustainability
A site on playing guitar for kids to adults (music, videos, players, lessons. gear):
http://www.squidoo.com/GuitarsByReallySlowHand
See also my latest websites, Women Guitar Players and Pentax Digital Photography
A couple of general purpose sites that have writing and photography:
Articles on Gather.com
Photos on Gather.com
Please note that uber.com is now defunct, so that blog is gone, and I don't use twitter any more
Digg.com as chemrat
Bloggingzoom.com (username chemrat)
This is almost the full extent of my e-publishing under my own name, bashkin001 and chemrat. I welcome you feedback on any and all of these sites, and you'll see from the squidoo sites that I am continuing to read a lot of fiction. I have one review partially written and am currently reading The Delectable Mountains by the delightful Michael Malone.

crime fiction on Squidoo
Crime fiction is reviewed and discussed on my new Squidoo lens, with polls and opportunities for reader input. Music is recommended to accompany reading books by various crime authors (typically the music listened to by their protagonists). Links to this and other blogs are provided. Author interviews have started to appear. There is also a new Squidoo group I just started called What's A Little Murder Among Friends?, designed for people to add their own crime fiction lenses. Join in! Membership in squidoo.com is free, and can be used for fun, profit or charity.
For those who don't know, Squidoo lenses are a web device for focusing attention on any subject that interests you. Squidoo groups are simply groups of lenses: people can join your group or you can add other people's lenses that interest you. You can add RSS feeds from blogs, books from Amazon.com, and music from iTunes. Lenses featured on What's a Little Murder... include author- and genre-specific sites built up by dedicated fans.
For those who don't care about this kind of information for bloggers, don't worry, there won't be much. If I knew more, I might have avoided posting the same story to this blog twice (see below). Undoubtedly, Angels fear to tread in the bloggosphere.
