Novel
Dog & Butterfly
Two souls die at the same instant—half a world apart. Both are sent back with the same impossible mission.
In Los Angeles, a gang member is pulled from the edge of death with a command that will change his life forever. In Brisbane, a young woman meets a similar fate, carrying a message she cannot ignore: one that will change the world.
As science fractures the fabric of creation and faith battles reason, their paths race toward each other across continents and time itself. Love, prophecy, and destiny converge in a story that defies death—and dares to ask what happens when Heaven chooses ordinary people for extraordinary purpose.
Dog & Butterfly is a sweeping, heart-pounding journey of miracles, sacrifice, and the unbreakable thread that binds every soul to something greater.
Novel
Guns in the Garden
The past never stays buried.
In a quiet Kelowna retirement community, an aging woman recognizes a face she’s spent a lifetime trying to forget—the Nazi art thief who destroyed her world. Decades after the war, Isabella still carries the ghosts of her youth in Italy, where she once fought for survival, freedom, and love. Now, with only her frail husband and fading strength, she faces the unthinkable choice: forgive the past… or finish what she started.
From the vineyards of war-torn Europe to the sunlit peace of modern Canada, Guns in the Garden spans generations of courage, betrayal, and redemption. It’s a powerful story of the human heart—how far it will go to seek justice, and what it costs to finally find peace.
Novel

From the first page to the last twist, SNAP hurtles forward with cinematic pace and emotional depth. A thriller where survival, love, and time itself hang in the balance.

The First Tenet & The Final Tenet
THE FIRST TENET
A man walks into a bar—and changes the world forever.
When computer programmer Adam Johl steps onto the stage at a New York bar claiming to deliver a message from God, the crowd laughs—until the miracles begin. Within minutes, one hundred seventy-seven witnesses find themselves bound to a terrifying mission: convince the world to repent before the clock runs out…
THE FINAL TENET
The world is unraveling—and two men hold its fate. One claims to be the Messiah. The other may be the Antichrist.
As nations slide toward chaos and faith collides with technology, former programmer Adam Johl and the enigmatic prophet known as Dove face off in a battle for humanity’s soul. Governments, secret agencies, and media empires scramble to control the truth—while miracles, terror, and deception blur every line between salvation and destruction.
About Mario Molinari
Mario and Linda’s love story began on April 25, 1981, when they tied the knot. Twenty-five years later—on their silver anniversary—Mario surprised her with an unexpected gift: his first completed novel, Snap. She was stunned. Between coaching their sons’ hockey teams, running successful businesses, and managing a demanding corporate career, how had he found time to write an entire book?
The answer was simple: passion, persistence and drive. For years, Mario wrote in the margins of life—on flights, in hotel rooms, on weekends and late nights—until the stories that had lived quietly in his imagination found their voice on the page.
A lifelong learner, Mario later returned to night-time college to study creative writing, joined writers’ clubs, and collaborated with established authors and publishers to refine his craft. His diverse background in real estate, restaurant ownership, and international sales shaped his unique storytelling perspective—one grounded in people, purpose, and perseverance.
Today, Mario Molinari is the author of multiple novels (and movie script) that blend heart, suspense, and humanity. His journey proves that determination, faith, and love can turn even the busiest life into a work of art.
