BEVERLY HILLS, CA, UNITED STATES, July 27, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- August 10 marks a special day for Duran Duran fans around the world: Duran Duran Appreciation Day! And this year, Duranies have even more reason to celebrate as international best-selling poet and award-winning author Sandy Lender has stepped out of her comfort zone to release a non-fiction celebration of eighties fandom, 100 THINGS DURAN DURAN FANS SHOULD KNOW & DO DURING THIS LIFE.

Edited by Wymer UK author and DD biographer Jen Selinsky, this unofficial guidebook is a must-have for any die-hard fan of the iconic band. It is filled with 100 ideas and activities that foster camaraderie, community, friendship and more joy—all values that Duran Duran has instilled in their fans for decades.

The book showcases a long-time fan’s view of how much fun you can have as a new or veteran fan of the supergroup and encourages optimism and positivity in today’s world. It’s also a call to action for fans to spread positivity and stand up against bullying. With the rise of cyberbullying and negativity on social media, Lender hopes to use her platform and fandom to promote a message of love and acceptance.

“I’ve been a huge fan of Duran Duran for 40 years now and their music has brought absolute joy and inspiration to my life. With this book, I wanted to give back to the community and spread a message of positivity and camaraderie,” Lender said.

Given the Halloween/Danse Macabre excitement continuing this Oct. 31, the discovery of the model who inspired Patrick Nagel for the Rio album cover, and accolades Simon Le Bon has received this spring, every reader will have renewed interest in the fun and fabulous nostalgia of Duran Duran Appreciation Day! Lender has created a new way to celebrate “all things Duran” leading up to, including and post-Aug. 10. She’ll be participating in an online book tour Aug. 5-9.

Lender’s book is now available for purchase on Amazon and other major retailers. Join the anti-bullying movement and celebrate DDAD24 by getting your hands on this must-read book.
