“Dickie’s a Bastard,” a new book by Richard Lund, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co. Inc.

“Dickie’s a Bastard” is the story of a man discovering his dad was not his biological father and keeping that secret until later in life. Though he never knew his biological father and often felt unwanted by his mother, the story explores how he was able to build his own life with a loving wife and five sons, a successful military and academic career, and a passion for the outdoors, hunting and fishing.

Lund was an adjunct faculty member at Eastern New Mexico University, Park College, Austin Community College, Golden Gate University and Embry Riddle University, teaching graduate and undergrad courses. Over the years, hunting and fishing have been a major part of his life. He founded the Newport, RI, Rod and Gun club and is a member of the Rocky Mountain Elk club and several other hunting clubs.

Lund has five sons, seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

“Dickie’s a Bastard” is a 150-page paperback with a retail price of $41 (eBook $36).
