John Vercher is an American author whose novels sit at the intersection of literary fiction and genre storytelling. His debut, Three-Fifths, published in 2019, follows a biracial man passing as white whose life unravels when an old friend resurfaces with a violent past. The novel tackles racial identity, loyalty, and the cost of hiding who you are. It was a finalist for several awards and earned praise for its unflinching honesty.

After the Lights Go Out (2022) moves into the world of mixed martial arts, following a biracial fighter dealing with early-onset brain damage while caring for his ailing father. Devil Is Fine (2024) takes yet another turn, blending historical and contemporary timelines to explore how the legacy of slavery shapes a modern family. Vercher’s range is notable: each book uses a different setting and genre framework while remaining focused on questions of race, belonging, and what it means to be seen for who you really are.
