Pure entertainment! Collage: Six Decidedly Fun and Eclectic Novellas, marks Dave Willert's first published venture into fiction writing since his popular four-book science-fiction series, 'Dimensions,' which he wrote and published between 2009 and 2014. This exciting new collection, over 50 years in the making and creatively illustrated by Doug Kuhl, features six vastly unique tales of mystery, adventure, intrigue, humor, fantasy, romance, absurdity, nostalgia, reflection, excitement and surprises, all rolled into one fun and entertaining book, suitable for preteens through adults! The complete list of novellas featured in this book, as well as the year they were each originally written, includes: 'Where Is Mr. Madison?' (2012), 'Cannon Manchester is Dead!' (co-written with Doug Kuhl) (2020), 'The Foreign Exchange Student' (1969), 'Dr. Brighton's Secret' (2013), 'The Adventures of Horace Black!' (2016) and 'Mind Over Mind' (1984).

Dave's Life Lines is a simple book with 588 motivational thoughts or observations which I primarily created myself and in some cases borrowed from gifted writers and thinkers, as clearly noted. Beyond entertainment, the purpose of this book is to motivate each reader to live life without excessive worry and always with something positive to look forward to. Enjoy!

I had the pleasure of directing high school, junior high school and college show choirs, from 1977 until I retired in 2016. This book briefly chronicles the challenges and the successes inherent in that lifetime of adventure! My career, taking place in California, began with Norco High School, and then after hiring talented choreographer Doug Kuhl, we moved to Nogales High School (with a brief stint at Mount San Antonio College), then on to Diamond Bar High School and ending with both Brea Olinda High School and Brea Junior High. Doug, my wife, Margaret, the staff, students and I, totaling 160 different show choirs, covering 39 years of teaching, competed all over the country, and had the time of our lives! This book, One, Two, Three, Pizzazz, recreates that whole glorious story from the beginning to the end. It is written from my own viewpoint, my memoirs, as well as from the memories of my former students, parents and staff. This book is about dreams and making those dreams come true. It's also about rising again after disappointment and learning to appreciate your efforts much more than the competition results! This is a story that deserves to be remembered... and through this book, it will be. Now, get ready for the show choir adventure of your life! One, Two, Three, Pizzazz!
