A NEW book will be launched in Weston this coming March.

On March 31, local author Deborah Durbin will be hosting a launch event of her 16th book, And She Lived Happily Ever After, at Muffins Cafe on Worle High Street.

From 7pm, guests are invited to come along and celebrate the book's release, which acts as an empowering guide to life for women of all ages.

The book is published by O Books and has seen endorsement from Rosalind Mooney, the Editor of Soul and Spirit magazine.

It has also reached number seven in Amazon's Hot New Releases last week.

Tickets to the event cost £20, which includes a buffet, a glass of Prosecco, a motivational workshop and the opportunity to purchase a signed copy.

There will also be other merchandise on sale and a charity raffle. Tickets are available direct from Muffins Cafe or through the Eventbrite website.
