About Dave Walsh
Dave Walsh was once the world's foremost kickboxing journalist, if that makes any sense. He's still trying to figure that one out.
The thing is, he always loved writing and fiction was always his first love. He wrote 'Godslayer' in hopes of leaving the world of combat sports behind, which, as you can guess, did not exactly work. That's when a lifelong love of science fiction led him down a different path.
Now he writes science fiction novels about far-off worlds, weird technology and the same damned problems that humanity has always had, just with a different setting.
He does all of this while living in the high desert of Albuquerque and raising twin boys with his wife. He's still not sure which is harder: watching friends get knocked out or raising boys.

Blog postI’ve dedicated a lot of time and space to talking about Disney’s the Mandalorian in the last few weeks. I suppose it’s in part because it’s one of the biggest shows on television (*streaming) today and it happens to be science fiction. Not just science fiction, but Star Wars, and everything that comes along with that. What I’ve enjoyed about the Mandalorian is that while it’s most definitely Star Wars it has never felt cheap or pandering in an extremely overt way. It’s still Star Wars and st<2 days ago Read more

Blog postThis week’s episode of The Mandalorian makes it difficult not to talk about Akira Kurosawa. That is also true when talking about Star Wars in general, yet this week the link is undeniable. For the uninitiated, Akira Kurosawa was a Japanese filmmaker known for perhaps perfecting the samurai genre, while also heavily influencing the popular film genre of westerns… while also heavily influenced by westerns. There is a lot of ouroboros involved with these genres, not just the usual cross-pollina<1 week ago Read more

Blog postThe Mandalorian I try not to read reviews or commentary on stuff when I know I’m going to write about it. In part, because I want to formulate my own thoughts and opinions on something instead of fixating on what other people are saying about it. That’s not to say that other people have bad opinions or are wrong as much as going in blind allows me to share my unstrained thoughts as opposed to replies or support for what someone else said. The Mandalorian is no exception.

Blog postDisney hit Star Wars fans with an effective 1-2 this week with the launch of Disney+ by releasing not one but two episodes of their flagship Star Wars show: The Mandalorian. I liked the first episode, although it was difficult to really tell where the show was headed or what it was going to be from just that episode. There’s a lot of history behind the whole Mandalorian thing, some of which is only really briefly covered in stuff like Star Wars Rebels and never in the mainline films.3 weeks ago Read more

Blog postI’m not sure that there has been a media franchise with as much baggage as Star Wars has. Star Wars did a lot of the heavy lifting of taking the genre of science fiction from the realm of “nerd stuff” and into the mainstream, transforming the entire media landscape that followed it. Without Star Wars there would be no Marvel Cinematic Universe, networks wouldn’t have taken a chance on bringing Star Trek back multiple times or taken risks like Babylon 5, Stargate, Farscape or other beloved sc<3 weeks ago Read more

Blog postI’m not quite sure what to say about the state of modern games that hasn’t already been said. We’re entering a hyper-monetized era for games where publishers are still clinging onto the idea of games costing $60 at launch to claim they aren’t increasing prices, while milking a lot more out of their most loyal players. It’s a deceptive practice that instead of admitting that the production of a top tier game means charging $100 for the full experience, instead players are being nickel-and-dim<4 weeks ago Read more

Blog postI’m not someone that really keeps up with the world of pop music or music criticism. In part because I have two kids, am running my own business publishing novels and barely have time to indulge in things that I genuinely enjoy. Those days of experimenting with a new artist that isn’t quite in my wheelhouse or wanting to suffer through what feels like a dozen hours of original WWE content a week knowing that maybe an hour or two will be rewarding are over. At least for now.

Blog postThese are exciting times. Why? Because I have released the third Andlios Book today; Ganymede’s Gate. After originally publishing Terminus Cycle back in 2015, the plan was to release Cydonia Rising within that year. Life got in the way and I didn’t release Cydonia Rising until last month.
The good news? That I followed it up immediately with Ganymede’s Gate.
Thank you all for the support that you’ve shown me and for those of you that kept on me during the years I didn’t publis2 months ago Read more -
Blog postIf you know me, you know that I have a certain fondness for Star Trek Deep Space 9. Most Star Trek series are good (yes, even Enterprise and Voyager had their moments), but that DS9 has always been my favorite.
Why?
Because it took time to reflect on its characters in deep, meaningful ways, allowing the writers and actors to go explore what makes people, well, people. One such character was Nog.
Nog started off as your typical Ferenghi. He was a capitalist, mean, conni2 months ago Read more -
Blog postWhew.
I just released another book. That’s not something that I thought I’d be doing again for a long, long time. In truth, getting these two books prepared and released has been a ton of work. I’m already most of the way through the first draft of another book in a new series, too.
Having twins while doing all of this, while my wife is in school (again) on top of her working full-time has been not just challenging, but almost impossible. I can’t lie, almost every free m3 months ago Read more
