**Author Jane Doe Publishes 'Shadows of Tomorrow'**  

*New dystopian novel examines societal collapse through a family's survival story.*  

NEW YORK -- Jane Doe, a former journalist, released her debut novel "Shadows of Tomorrow" on Tuesday through independent publisher Apex Books. The book, set in a near-future America ravaged by climate disasters, follows a family's desperate bid for survival amid government breakdown. Doe drew from her reporting on environmental crises for the story's foundation.  

The 320-page hardcover arrives amid rising interest in climate fiction, with early sales topping 5,000 copies in the first week via online retailers and independent bookstores. Apex Books reports distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, reaching major chains including Barnes & Noble.  

"Reporting on real-world disasters showed me how fragile our systems are— this book imagines what happens when they snap," Doe said.  

Advance reviews from outlets like Publishers Weekly noted the novel's "taut pacing and unflinching realism," while beta readers on Goodreads praised its character depth.  

"Shadows of Tomorrow" is available in hardcover ($26.99), ebook ($9.99) and audiobook formats through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop.org and independent stores nationwide. Doe will appear at the Brooklyn Book Festival on Oct. 20.
