here's a quick saber nahar intro. may have to revise it in the future.
![Excerpt from Cowboys and Djinn WIP:
Chapter 8: Saber, who is Caught Up with It
Saber Nahar had been named for her passed uncle prior to birth and had had the gall to not turn out a baby boy. Saber hadn’t even had the gall to avoid developing quite the rack. She hadn’t even turned out particularly masculine in the way of things, excepting in everything she did wrong as a woman, ever. Such as become a flapper within the United States in the height of the 1920’s…! Among the coolest of cats, she managed plenty wrongs, and when it came to avoiding getting busted, she thought it didn’t matter, being man or woman, and she was fantastic as a woman.
