C.W. “Mover” Lemoine is a former U.S. Air Force F-16 fighter pilot who writes military aviation thrillers.

He also flew F/A-18s with the Navy and T-38As in the Air Force Reserve, then flew 737s and 787s for a major U.S. airline until 2026. Today he flies law enforcement helicopters, the OH-58A and OH-6, and that cockpit time is behind every flying scene in his books.

His books

  • AIR ONE, the new series. In AIR ONE: Origin, a burned-out former fighter pilot leaves the airlines for law enforcement aviation and ends up in a high-stakes fight against an emerging threat.

  • The SPECTRE Series follows a former F-16 pilot caught up in espionage and adventure.

  • The Alex Shepherd Series follows a sheriff’s deputy whose path of vengeance takes him around the world.

  • Project Virtus is science fiction about an F-16 pilot and a law enforcement helicopter pilot unlocking the mysteries of a UAP.

Make them tell you no.

Growing up in rural Louisiana, Mover was told he could never be a fighter pilot. He refused to rule himself out and joined the Air Force Reserve in 2006.

When he’s not writing, Mover hosts the C.W. LEMOINE YouTube channel on aviation, racing, and cars. He also co-hosts THE MOVER AND GONKY SHOW with former F/A-18 pilot “Gonky” Hartsock. He volunteers with his rescue pup LUNA BELLE, a Therapy K9 for law enforcement.
