In a room where old books and handwritten notes feel as real as people, science and romance mix in unexpected ways. Craig Bouchard, a New York Times Best Selling Author and innovative entrepreneur, invites readers into this nuanced world through his latest work, “Soul Ties of Spies, book one of the “Natalia’s Game” trilogy,” where romance, espionage, and quantum physics meet head on.

“Soul Ties of Spies” has garnered a diverse following, reflecting its genre-defying content. Blogger Karen Dee captures the book’s essence in her Instagram post: “It’s a love story, a spy story with awesome quantum physics thrown in there. Natalia is a smart, fierce, kick-ass woman with teleporting and astral dreaming skills. Crew is a brilliant spy and quantum physics expert who falls for Natalia. They become spy partners and lovers while discovering a deep soul-tie connection.”

Bouchard’s book uniquely blends espionage, romance, and diplomacy inside a world where the CIA, FSB, Scotland Yard and the Romanian SRI must work together to save the world. Is this a new imprint for the way things should be?

As a business leader and literary figure, Bouchard brings two demanding skills together, as evidenced by his latest work and past achievements, including co-founding six companies and being a finalist for the Platts/S&P CEO of the Year Award in the global metals industries in 2018. His online presence is another sign of his broad impact, with a staggering 6.5 million hits on Google and 50,000 followers on social media sites.

Author Craig T. Bouchard on His New Book ‘Soul Ties of Spies’

By Exec Edge Editorial Staff

Exec Edge caught up with caught up with Craig T. Bouchard to find out about his latest book Soul Ties of Spies.

Exec Edge: As a New York Times Bestselling author, why did you shift from writing about business to creating a dynamic spy novel?

The world is rapidly changing, as we have known it for a century. Business, politics, science, culture, and human developments have mutated into forms we haven’t experienced. So, I am writing about the danger of this.

Exec Edge: What – or who – was your inspiration for Soul Ties of Spies’ female heroine, Natalia Net?

My daughters. As a society, we continue to lack real female heroes in entertainment and in the media. When I watch Netflix or Amazon, let alone Disney, I can’t find modern-day women I want my daughters to emulate. Strong, intelligent, independent, fit, with beautiful minds, and that critical intangible, killer instinct. And yes, what does it mean for a woman to be sexy? (Hard for a dad to say!) It’s a cruel world out there, full of predators. I want bad guys to fear my daughters, not the other way around…

Craig T. Bouchard, New York Times Bestselling Author, Announces Highly Anticipated New Fiction Trilogy with Launch at the Gaudeamus International Book Fair in Bucharest, Romania

/in , /by

Bucharest, RO — December 12, 2022 — Soul Ties of Spies, the first book in the anticipated Natalia’s Game trilogy by Craig T. Bouchard launched this past week at the Gaudeamus International Book Fair in Bucharest. Its first edition is published by Carusel Books and will initially be sold at an estimated 200 bookstores and 150 newsstands across Romania during the launch.

The groundbreaking entrepreneur, businessman, and New York Times Best-Selling author of “The Caterpillar Way”, expands into dynamic new genres in his latest fiction novel about the world of spies and so much more.

Soul Ties of Spies quickly captivates readers with action-packed writing and a thrilling storyline. Through alternating points of view from the novel’s two protagonists, both spies, Bouchard guides readers through a fast-paced dive into hot current topics like quantum physics, war, the global order, geostrategy, shifting national boundaries, and the role of covert intelligence.

“Bouchard enables readers to peer into the life of legendary American spy, Crew Thomas – a master of quantum physics who searches the world for a partner to help him break the final frontier in the world of spying: the time barrier,” said Catalin Georgescu, COO of Carusel Books.

Crew Thomas and the CIA discover Natalia Net, the book’s primary persona and Romanian female heroine. Natalia is a covert operative in the SRI – the Romanian intelligence service – an assassin with lucid dreaming skills. In partnership, the novel’s two protagonists project into the future, preventing a global catastrophe. Crew and Natalia complement each other through unique quantum abilities and their deep soul tie attraction, making Soul Ties of Spies a tale of the ages. The readers will be surprised in the final pages of the book.

Bouchard adds, “The theme of the Natalia’s Game trilogy is incredibly relevant to our society, especially in its current divisive state. The collaboration between Romanian Natalia Net, General Thomas, and Russian spies speaks volumes on how principals of the world powers must work together for the greater good of humanity. The divide we find ourselves in today is not acceptable.”

Soul Ties of Spies is currently available at Caruselbooks.ro, Libris.ro, Librarie.net, Elefant.ro, Cartepedia.ro, and in all the major bookstore chains in Romania, including Carturesti, Librariile Alexandria, Diverta, CLB, and Compas.

The Innovative Way Craig Bouchard’s Space Railway Could Tackle Space Exploration

/in , /by

By Space Coast Daily

In May 2022, Craig Bouchard joined Dr. Kenneth Douglas and General Donald McGregor, founders of The Space Railway Corporation, on a mission to design a more efficient way to carry cargo into space and return on the same ship with a load of rare commodities.

The company is building a patent portfolio around its proprietary technologies involving propulsion, energy conversion, vehicle design, and the needed advanced materials. The centerpiece of the mission is a futuristic technology called the Space Railway.

And it’s loosely based on concepts scientists have theorized about since 1895. The company’s goal is not to build the Railway. That construction project will become the largest in history, likely to be taken on by a consortium of nations aligned politically and economically to work together to explore deep space.

Before diving into the specifics of the tech, though, it’s worth reviewing the current state of space exploration. Because what’s driving Craig Bouchard, General McGregor, and Dr. Douglas is a belief that the Space Railway could solve an unmet global need to eventually colonize outer space…
