Richard Walsh is a part-time writer and full-time husband, father, and accountant. He lives with his family and a pack of basset hounds in the suburbs of Minneapolis and stays active with local politics, roleplaying games, and light (very light) jogging.
Richard is influenced by a wide variety of genre writers, most notably Cormac McCarthy, P.G. Wodehouse, Robert Heinlein, and Raymond Chandler. His worldview is fundamentally libertarian and subsidiarist, but the themes of his work often extend beyond questions of the individual and the state.
To date, Richard’s most prominent work is the Adventures of Seamus Tripp, which he coauthors with Jon Garett. The Adventures of Seamus Tripp is a book series suitable for readers of all ages. It combines humor, action, and adventure in a format that is exciting, literary, and good fun. Get a taste of the series for free with The Adventure of Seamus Tripp and the North Star Witch.
Richard and Jon have also collaborated on a game supplement for the Karma RPG, published by Bards & Sages, called Horizon Station. This work includes a more explicit treatment of libertarian principles than much of Richard’s other work.
Richard’s noir science-fiction short story “Processing Power” was a runner up in the 2014 LFA/SFL Libertarian Short Story Contest, voted one of the top 10 stories out of 169 submissions.
Finally, Richard has self-published a novella titled Fargo Company, which takes place in a dystopian America overtaken by a limitless national government. It is a character-driven story that touches on the consequences of extreme centralization.
