Greetings. I'm looking for anyone who might be interesting in reading the current draft of my fantasy/western. It's 100,000 words.
To pique possible interest, here's a query that I've sent through QLH a few times. Not approved, but certainly improved. I need to get the kinks ironed out before I do anymore work on it.
EDIT: The first chapter is in SYW.

I can take whatever criticism you throw at me.Sure, Nikkas may be a criminal, but he’s never killed anyone except for that one time. And it wasn’t even his fault. Unfortunately, the other crimes being pegged on him were crimes he didn’t commit. He only had a tiny involvement and none of it by choice. The day he’s shot, killed, and somehow revived ends up being the best day of his life. Everyone thinks he’s dead, and certain parties quite pissed off at him have absolutely no reason to hunt him anymore.
After he winds up in a quaint mining town, Nikkas uses it as the perfect opportunity to start over. Everything goes well. He’s given a job. He has a roof over his head. He even makes some new friends.
Unfortunately, his new life isn’t meant to be. A stranger shows up into town, threatening to unravel Nikkas’s past unless he helps to find an old sword—the same rusty sword he had absolutely no part in stealing. Should he refuse or fail, he could very well die—for real this time.
EDIT: The first chapter is in SYW.
