There's no doubting where the Crawley girls get their hat skills from! The Countess of Grantham may act like a confused kidnap victim stuck in the role of country manor lady... but look at that hat expertise! I bet she could balance a billiard table on her head.

Lady Edith is often described (mostly by her FAMILY) as if she's dowdy but from season 2 onwards she has had marvellous outfits -- and her hats only get better and better! Tell me I don't need to rewatch all six seasons to figure out where this one is from.

Lady Sybil Crawley is one of the all time great hat-wearers. This one with a sort of felted embroidery situation is one of my favourites. I want to steal it and pin it to a wall.

Hunting is terrible but Edwardian ladies in top hats are spectacular.

The new Downton Movie offered a whole lot of cozy goodness, but particular a splendid array of new hats! Of all the costume dramas, Downton has always delivered good hat.

Time to welcome to the world The Season of Dragons, a gaslamp fantasy retelling of Pride and Prejudice with added dragons as patronesses, dragon-based social currency, dragons drinking tea, etc. This is QUITE the coziest book I have ever written.

Yes, really.

My new retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (now with 80% more dragons) is dropping on all ebook vendors (and paperbacks too!) on February 14. No particular reason.

I did think casting a 50 something in that role was bizarre but when you roll back to 1987 DC Comics literally every male character drawn by Maguire looks middle-aged, so *shrug* AGE BUILDS CHARACTER

Every frame of Nathan Fillion's face in his Guy Gardner era makes it look like he's drawn by Kevin Maguire and I think that's beautiful.

I have just realised what that little symbol saying 'click here to let AI get up in your business' actually reminds me of.
