+NEW YORK -- Jane Doe released her debut novel "Shadows of Tomorrow" on Oct. 10 through independent publisher Apex Books. The 320-page thriller follows a journalist uncovering corporate AI experiments amid societal breakdown. Distribution began nationwide via major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble and IndieBound.  
+
+The book draws from Doe's background as a tech reporter, incorporating real-world AI developments into its plot. Early reviews highlight its timely critique of surveillance technology, with Kirkus Reviews calling it "a chilling forecast."  
+
+"Writing this felt like piecing together the headlines I covered for years—AI isn't just code, it's reshaping power itself," Doe said. "I wanted readers to question who's really watching."  
+
+"Shadows of Tomorrow" has secured pre-orders exceeding 5,000 copies and partnerships with libraries in 20 states for author events. Industry buzz includes a feature in Publishers Weekly's upcoming thriller roundup.  
+
+The hardcover is priced at $26.99 and available now at major booksellers, online platforms and independent stores. Doe will appear at the Brooklyn Book Festival on Oct. 20 and a virtual launch event on Oct. 15 via Apex Books' YouTube channel.
