About Us
North River Publications LLC is an independent publisher dedicated to bold fiction that reflects the fractures, choices, and questions shaping today’s world. We believe in the power of story to confront difficult truths and challenge familiar narratives.
Founded in 2025, North River Publications is the publishing home of the Fall of America trilogy by J.T. Mercer—a pen name used to protect the author’s identity and keep the spotlight on the work, not the individual. The series explores themes of democratic collapse, digital resistance, and the quiet choices that define turning points in history.
Our mission is to:
- Support fiction rooted in political and emotional truth
- Champion authorial privacy where appropriate
- Bring deeply researched, independent work to a wide audience
- Bridge the space between journalism, literature, and lived experience
We publish across digital and print formats, with direct distribution and select platform partnerships. All editorial, marketing, and creative decisions are guided by our core values: independence, integrity, and imagination.
