The Rugby Cafe Writers have released their new anthology of short stories for 2026. The book, Dive into a Story, is the ninth to be released by the group. It features the work of 33 local authors and features about a hundred short stories, each designed to be read over a cup of coffee. Here is the blurb for the book.
A woman plots escape from her husband’s obsession.
A ballerina defects to London for love.
A birthday celebration brings unexpected guests.
A woman uncovers a hidden branch in her family tree.
A weary traveller finds hope when an old flame spots her.
In this collection of short stories, the Cafe Writers of Rugby explore how the ordinary can become extraordinary, and how things are never quite what they seem. In their ninth anthology, the Writers present another scintillating collection of stories which will surprise, shock and, sometimes, move you to tears. It’s time to Dive into a Story.
The book is available as a paperback from Amazon for £8.99 or an ebook from Amazon for £2.99. Our local stockists in Rugby are Art at the Alex in James Street, Rugby and Hunt’s Bookshop in High Street, Rugby.
The book will also be available at the Rugby Literary Festival and Southam Book Festival this autumn for the special offer price of £6 per copy.
