The 120-year-old secret found in a piano: The truth behind my thriller

As an author, you dream of finding a story that demands to be told. For me, that dream became real during the restoration of a 1902 Bechstein piano in Palermo, Sicily, where I discovered a lost letter from Guglielmo Marconi.
​This discovery is the heartbeat of my thriller, 'The Marec Frequency'. I’m so excited to share this journey with the Goodreads community. If you enjoy Hard Sci-Fi with a touch of real-life mystery, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

The Secret Marconi Letter: From the R.M.S. Majestic to J.P. Morgan

In 1902, Guglielmo Marconi wrote a private, handwritten letter to his father while aboard the R.M.S. Majestic. In those pages, he revealed a secret that would change history: the sale of his patents to J.P. Morgan and C. Vanderbilt.
​This historical reality is the heart of my thriller, 'The Marec Frequency'. It explores what happens when a young researcher, Nora, finds that letter hidden in an old Bechstein piano nearly a century later.
​Is it just history, or can resonance bridge the gap between past and present? I invite you to discover the frequency.
