“The Shadow Of A Bass Man is a compelling read which takes you into the premise that the Beatle Paul McCartney we see now and throughout musical history is really a replacement following the assassination of the original band member James Paul McCartney. It further states that after the band members became ‘Members of the British Empire’ (MBE) they were required to comply with the wishes of the establishment (Crown) and essentially do their bidding. Whether this book is fictitious or only partly so you will need to decide, but what I say to you the reader is that this is a sad and unfortunate fact which does actually happen time and time again. Those who go against the establishment are met with such demise, especially those who have turned their backs on the establishment having first allowed the Vampire into the room. The pin-point accuracy in which the authors describe the Modus Operandi of these brotherhoods and their demand for compliance is astonishingly true.

The Beatles are my second favourite band of all time, they are iconic and legendry and this book teases us by telling us that John Lennon left clues to the truth within his lyrics, something I now feel compelled to find. The book turns you into the fifth band member and you are actually transported into the room with them as they express their thoughts and emotions. This is inside access to the most famous band the world has ever seen in a way never before imagined.

This book is a tremendous example of wordsmithing and all credit should be given to the time and devotion given to us, the reader, by its authors. It is a must read for any Beatle fanatic (fan) or for anyone who is just simply curious “

“The Shadow of a Bass Man is an intriguing read. I highly respect the fearless and thorough investigation that the authors have done to create this historical novel. This book unleashes the truth of one of the most remarkable coverups, where public opinion was skillfully manipulated in 1966 and beyond. By revealing these shocking truths, the authors put us back on the Divine path to be Fearless and Free!”

And So, It Begins: “After riding the rollercoaster to phenomenal success never seen before in the music industry, The Beatles world suddenly changed in the fall of 1966.” And so, it has to this day, and the extraordinary journey we take with co-authors Anne Walsh and Mary Ann Howard is nothing short of mind bending as they seem to enlist Paul McCartney himself as their personal “tour guide” through his incredible story book life. But how? How did two ordinary Beatles fans manage to tap into a realm heretofore uncharted in literary prowess? Simple. They asked Paul to guide their every word, every nuance, every movement through their story. His Story. As if guided Spiritually and channeled innocently through a world not made available to the masses, Anne Walsh and Mary Ann Howard approach their subject just as they are: Fans. The curiosity of fandom won out with Paul, as he seems to revel in their admiration and the chance to “get even” with the person or people responsible for his untimely demise. Don’t dare call this a “Paul Is Dead” book, you will get a quick lesson that it most certainly is not. As they like to call it, it’s a “Love Letter” from Paul to his still adoring fans, that he sees them, knows them and is ready to reclaim his right as an Icon in the music industry. And that means that reconciliation is coming swiftly. Can’t wait for the NEXT book in this fascinating trilogy.

There are many Paul Is Dead books. I used to be hesitant about this theory, but now I’m convinced it’s true. This book is very different because it is a fiction. It tells a real event through an allegorical story. It opens up new possibilities as to how this tragedy happened and why. It reveals a plausible scenario of how one of the world’s most popular men violently and suddenly left this world at a young age. It is very stimulating and can be a turning point in the search for truth. The correction of more than half a century of lies and the correction of errors. It is worth reading!

I’ve just finished reading The Shadow of a Bass Man by Anne Walsh and Mary Ann Howard Matesich. I loved it. In the same way as Memoirs desecrated Paul’s memory, Shadow brings it back to life. I cried. A lot. It reads like a novel and brings in all the elements that those who have been down this rabbit hole have encountered – whether directly related to PID or not. It takes the reader in an unknown and unexpected direction and plays out an alternative timeline. I thoroughly recommend it. Loved every moment. Many thanks Anne and Mary Ann – great job well done. You’ve written an important book that creates a problem for the powers that be.

“This book is a testament to human insight, intuition, logic and the dogged determination to find and piece together the available evidence about an injustice committed against millions of people who cared about Paul McCartney, and the man himself. Although these qualities are being ‘trashed’ left and right today by conspiracy theorists and those peddling ‘alternate facts’, however specious they may be, in this case they deserve our respect. Unfortunately, though, the book is also a poignant reminder of how far people will go to create an illusion that serves their self-interest, even when the mirage becomes starkly evident, which these two ‘amateur detectives’ reveal. Hence, we have in The Shadow of a Bass Man painstaking research that covers two decades and holds our interest as it unfolds in a narrative that every Beatle fan will honor, despite its fundamental conclusion: Paul McCartney ‘disappeared’ from the earth in 1966. Read it and weep for the protagonist; then cheer for the two amateur sleuths who brought this very cold case to us in such a meticulous and convincing way. Bravo, Anne and Mary Anne. Keep exposing other fantasies that popular culture continues to embrace.”

“As a Radical Mindfulness coach and expert, I was delighted to read The Shadow of a Bass Man. The detail and character development of this plot brings the reader back to the mid 60’s, and the British Invasion mania and makes us wonder, what was it all about? To read this book through the lens of what is HONEST makes you agree with the authors’ conclusion that there is more to the story than we’ve been told. I look forward to reading more of the series to see what other truths are revealed.”

Daniel Gutierrez, Best Selling Author of Radical Mindfulness

“I am rarely speechless, but after reading this book I found myself in a state of awe with all the information that was presented about The Beatles and Beatlemania. I had never heard about the so-called conspiracy theory… It is now time for the truth to be revealed. Thank you to the authors for your courage and tenacity to share your research with the world so we can discern for ourselves what really happened all those years ago.”

Jennifer Kauffman, Transformational Film Director, Inspirational Speaker & Results Coach

The Shadow of a Bass Man is an enjoyable read. A wild romp through an alternate reality that may just have you wondering- is it true? Or as John Lennon told us: “Nothing is real. And nothing to get hung about.”

“Intriguing, mysterious, heartbreaking, and love, love love. This book reads like an official diary of the true Beatle: James Paul McCartney. It feels as if Paul has whispered into the authors’ ears and dictated the story of his physical demise. What can’t be vanquished is the loving spirit of the storyteller, musician, songwriter and best “mate” of John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. As the reader turns each page with great speed, what is painted is a tell-all from the beyond that is begging to be recognized and, if all goes well, a film will reveal truth that cannot be suppressed. Truth? Did Paul “ghost write” this book? Read it and you will find your answer. “

Yesterday came suddenly… Not a forensic analysis and written in a style of historical narrative, it took just a short time to become fascinated, then sorrowful, and finally convicted that justice must come one day. “Why he had to go” is at the heart of his death, and I look forward to sequel/s. James Paul McCartney merits all the light that can be shone on him.

A Riveting & Thought Provoking Mystery Story ! This riveting book has taken me a long time to finish due to unseen commitments but it has been so exciting. A great adventure for John L who’s my favourite of the FAB 4, seeking out what’s happened to his great friend and musical partner. The caring and decent nature of Paulie is shown so well and the links to famous underground gangsters and satanic characters are very thought provoking. A great read!

Did Paul Die? I bought this for my girlfriend who is convinced the original James Paul McCartney died and was replaced in 1966. Look at what the people in charge have done to the world in the last year, of course they replaced him.

P.K. – UK

Yeah, it all fits. The more I learn and then look back to the narrative. The only way people will know about James Paul McCartney and Why John became ill and hurt so much is years and years away. I think if The Beatles truth searching continues, then this old chestnut will keep resurfacing. Your books are time capsules and you’re a part of that Mary Ann and Anne.

I came across the first book in November 2021. I loved that book so much that I ordered the second book in December 2021. I devoured that book. I am anxiously awaiting future books you put out. Your writing is excellent. Your books capture my attention from the beginning to the end. I can’t wait to read the next word and the next and the next to find out what happens. It’s like I can’t read it fast enough if that makes sense. Congratulations on getting a publisher!
