About C.W. Lemoine
An American author, C.W. Lemoine is a writer with a focus on exciting and suspense fuelled novels, filled with action and adventure. Taking the contemporary action thriller and turning it on its head, he sends the reader into an authentically written military world that feels wholly genuine and real. His use of suspense is also extremely well done, knowing exactly how to carry the reader, entertaining and enthralling them all the way. This is something that has proven to be hugely successful for him worldwide, as he’s found fans from all over, regardless of their background.

Drawing upon a number of different authors for inspiration, he follows in rich tradition with writers such as Vince Flynn and Brad Thor inspiring his work. Setting himself apart, it’s the degree of detail and precision that he brings to his work that really brings it to life, allowing the reader to essentially immerse themselves within it. The compelling stories are also well paced too, as the audience is kept glued to the edge of their seat, constantly turning the page. Fast becoming a household name for many, he’s a singular presence in the action thriller writing genre, understanding it inside out.

Creating a strong cast of characters too, he really knows how to create realistic protagonists that keep the readers hooked. With a military background himself, he uses some of his own experiences and knowledge to help guide him, bringing another level to his work. It’s also his use of espionage at the heart of many of his novels that also drives them, giving them a real sense of urgency. With a lot more set to follow in the future too, he definitely isn’t finishing any time soon either, as he continues growing from strength-to-strength.

Early and Personal Life
Born in America, the future author to be C.W. Lemoine would grow up with a keen interest in both reading and the military. Over the years he would come to combine these things, as each interest would come to feed off one another, inspiring him and his work. Spending time in the military, he’d learn how it worked, giving him plenty of material to write about in the years to follow.

Native to Louisiana, he would go on to study at Tulane University based in New Orleans, graduating from the A.B. Freeman School of Business. Following this he would go on to join the Air Force Reserve, flying an F-16 with a combat tour of Iraq, before going on to serve in the Navy Reserve where he flew Hornets for several years. Currently he lives in New Orleans, flying and volunteering for the local law enforcement, as he continues to write to this present day.

Writing Career
Starting out back in 2013, Lemoine would make his name with the novel ‘Spectre Rising,’ and this would also be the first in the ‘Spectre’ series of novels. Setting up the franchise, it would pave the way for ‘Avoid. Negotiate. Kill’ to be released the year after in 2014, and ‘Archangel Fallen’ in 2015. This would also help to establish Lemoine as a fully fledged author of action suspense novels, introducing him to the reading public at large.
In 2017 Lemoine would begin his next series ‘Alex Shepherd,’ which follow the eponymous Corporal Alez Shepherd as its protagonist. It would start with ‘Absolute Vengeance,’ and would then see a follow-up sequel released in 2018 titled ‘I Am The Sheepdog.’ These books would also help to set the tone of who Lemoine was and what he had to offer as an author, as there’s a lot more to come yet.

Fini Flight
Originally published in 2019 on the 21st of May, this would first come out through the ‘CWL Publishing’ label. Operating as the eighth part of the ongoing ‘Spectre’ series of novels, it would continue on from the previous book ‘The Helios Conspiracy’ released in 2018. Working as a self-contained action thriller and adventure novel, it would once again feature Cal ‘Spectre’ Martin as its central protagonist.

A high-octane action-thriller, this definitely doesn’t hold back when it comes to action and adventure, with plenty of suspense along the way. Difficult to put down, there’s excitement all the way through, as the tension keeps building to breaking point throughout. This is something that Lemoine excels at, along with his attention to detail, as he makes the most of the premise and its military setting.

Retiring for a quiet life after spending years serving in the military as part of ‘Project Archangel,’ a covert paramilitary group, Cal ‘Spectre’ Martin hopes to spend some well earned rest time with his wife and son. That’s when a figure from his past returns hoping to enlist his help, as denuclerization plans are underway between North Korea and the United States, but a North Korean general wants to launch a missile about America sending everyone into a third world war. With the stakes at an all time high, Cal may be stepping into a jet for the last time, but he does get to pick his own team for the mission. Will he be able to take out the North Korean general before it’s too late? Can he save the world from the brink of nuclear war? What will become of the Fini Flight?

I Am The Sheepdog
Published through the ‘CWL Publishing’ house once more, this would initially be released in 2018 on the 22nd of May. It would be the second part in the ‘Alex Shepherd’ series of novels, carrying on from the previous title, ‘Absolute Vengeance,’ released in 2017. Both of these books are stand-alone adventures featuring the same protagonist at the heart of them, with Shepherd being being the leading Corporal.

Starting a life of his own, Alex Shepherd has put the covert paramilitary group Odin behind him, as he heads off across the middle-east on a mission in the wake of losing his family in a terrorist attack. Assuming a new identity as Deputy Troy Wilson, he heads off to a small high-school with his K-9 in tow, looking to put the past behind him, as he undertakes the position at Fredericksburg High School. That’s when the usually quiet little Texas town is attacked by gangs from Mexico, and he has to take up arms once more to protect those around him. Will he be able to fight once again? Can he save those around him? What will become of Cal as he proclaims ‘I am the sheepdog?’
