RIPPA! is ripper football fiction
Our second release in June was RIPPA! the second football novel from P.J. Laverty.
Set in the late 1980s - after Craig Johnston but before the likes of Mark Viduka, Harry Kewell, Tim Cahill, et al made their names in English football - it is about Joey Rippa, a young football-playing surf-loving, pot-smoking, guitar-strumming 19-year-old from coastal Western Australia who is 'discovered' by the manager of West Ham while on a pre-season trip to Perth.
