Kincaid: Up In Smoke: A Western Adventure (A Kincaid Western Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 72 ratings

Some folks don’t seem to understand it’s wrong to hurt the weak or innocent. Do it in front of Kincaid, and you’re in for some schooling.

The author of the bestselling Emmett Strong Series brings you a new hero of the Old West.

Emry Kincaid is in a hurry to get to his recently widowed sister’s farm. Maintaining meager crops and a small herd in those arid parts is difficult enough without having to look after two small children while the work is done. Besides, a young, attractive woman, far from the nearest neighbor, is too tempting a victim for certain unprincipled men.

When Kincaid, along the way, pauses to rest his horse overnight in the small town of Saltillo, a situation he can’t overlook presents itself—a cowhand-type who’s had too much to drink is hurting a saloon girl, and no one will do anything to stop the lout. Kincaid does.

Next thing he knows, the cowhand’s widely feared boss, Al Helling, gathers a number of his hired hands and runs Kincaid down. Helling then gives Kincaid an outrageous ultimatum—take the blame for a bank robbery the outlaw cattleman is about to attempt, or take on impossible odds in a shootout Kincaid can never win.

If Kincaid is to survive to go to his sister’s aid, he’ll have to muster all the courage, savvy, and skill he can come up with. And even then, he’ll need somebody on high looking after him.

"GP Hutchinson has the gift to tell a compelling tale, enlighten you without preaching and keep you on the edge of your seat. He takes you on unexpected trails populated by flesh and blood characters of depth and substance," says Western TV & movie star Alex Cord. Nick Wale of Novel Ideas says, "With great mastery GP Hutchinson paints a West I can see, feel and smell. [He] knows how to write, and he knows instinctively."

Hutchinson's first Western novel, "Strong Convictions," won the Western Fictioneers Peacemaker Award for Best First Western of 2015, as well as a gold medal from the National Indie Excellence Awards. "Strong Suspicions," the second volume in the Emmett Strong Western series, garnered a gold medal in the 2016 Readers' Favorite International Book Awards and was an Amazon bestseller. And "Strong Ambitions" took silver in the 2017 Readers' Favorite Awards. Hutchinson has also authored the three-volume Cimarron Jack Western Series, which includes award-winner "High Plains Redemption." His "Reno Carrigan: Lawman" was also an Amazon bestseller. Currently, GP Hutchinson is writing the exciting, new Kincaid Western Series.

In addition to his interest in the Old West, Hutchinson has been a longtime enthusiast of baseball, America's first true national pastime, a game played from coast to coast by the late 1800s. While he enjoys the game as it is played today, his most recent novels are tales of players caught up in life-and-death struggles during the early years of professional baseball. Steeped in the actual history of the game, as well as societal realities of the times, these stories feature both fictional and actual characters, teams, and leagues.

A graduate of Louisiana State University and Dallas Theological Seminary, Hutchinson has lived in Costa Rica and Spain. He currently resides in upstate South Carolina with his wife, Carolyn. Besides writing, he enjoys the sports of Cowboy Action Shooting and horseback riding whenever opportunities arise.

    Good story line, excellent content but short reading. I enjoy books that has a length to them. Can't fault the writing, content or story line. Good, short read. I have read Hutchinson's Emmet Strong western and enjoyed them and found myself exciting looking forward to the next page. I look forward to reading Kincaid's next adventure. Great job.
