Publishing April 10th, Double Up or Quit sees the Boomer Crew venturing beyond their familiar allotments and pub haunts to the glitzy casinos of Monaco. The story follows the lads as they chase fortune and face a cascade of hilarious mishaps. From trashed cars to romantic woes, the stakes are higher than ever, and fans are eager to see if Johnny Crackers makes it back to Blighty in one piece.

A self-published author, Seddon has carved out a niche with his blend of humour, heart, and gritty, Wigan-inspired northern charm. Reflecting on the journey, he admits in his author’s note that The Joke That Killed tested his resolve, grappling with "Difficult Second Act syndrome." Yet, his pride in overcoming those doubts shines through, and Double Up or Quit is poised to be his most ambitious adventure yet.
