WELCOME TO
THE GUMSHOE SITE
(Opened on January 08, 1996)
I wish you, all visitors of The Gumshoe Site, a happy joyful and peaceful new year. I can't believe that I have been managing this site for 14 years. Since there are many good mystery websites and blogs around, I don't feel it necessary to update this site as frequently as 14 years ago. I hope you enjoy this site and come back once in a while. Thank you very much for your support. (January 06, 2010)
Warning to bloggers! -- When you re-use my info, please do not copy-and-paste it word for word, but quote it or paraphrase it, at least. My wording is so awkwardly distinct or so distinctly awkward, I can easily spot copy-and-paste non-artists, and so can smart blog-readers.
