Blogmaster: Jennifer Kelland Perry
Blog name: Jennifer’s Journal – jenniferkellandperry.com/blog/
Type of blog: Jenniferkellandperry.com is my author website. The blog attached to that is about writing, photography, and all things Newfoundland. I also feature my cats, Maisie and Vivian, under guest posts entitled Vivian’s View from Here.
Where in the world? The province of Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada.
Blogging since when? I started on New Year’s Eve, 2011.
What’s your story? (why did you start a blog?):
The idea of an online journal came to me as a way to create consistently, in the form of a poem or musing, or in small galleries of my personal, travel and local nature photography. Usually the subject of these posts focuses on something or someone I love, a topic I feel strongly about, or a place I have visited and wanted to share through pictures.
I have also reported from time to time on my first work, a coming of age novel, Calmer Girls. My hope was, by mentioning my writing project in my blog and simply putting it out there, I would become more accountable and motivated to see it through to its completion. I can say, without a doubt, the plan has been effective, as I’ve also recently completed Calmer Secrets, the sequel to Calmer Girls. It will be published on Amazon on March 21.
What types of blogs do you follow? I follow many different types of blogs, with topics that include food, travel, cats, and lifestyle advice, but I particularly gravitate towards writing advice and book blogs.
Early bird or night owl? (how do you make time for blogging?)
I suppose you’d consider me a night owl most of the time, usually blogging late in the day, in the evening or at night. The exception to this is when I’m creating a first draft in novel writing. I find I’m more inspired to write fiction in the early hours.
Coffee or tea? Both! Coffee (black) in the morning, and green tea after that.
Most recent binge watch: Ah yes, what everyone seems to be doing these days! My husband and I last binged on two Netflix series simultaneously: Broadchurch and The Fall. How about you, Barbara? 🙂

How nice! Thank you, Barbara for featuring me; I really appreciate it. It is an honour to grace the pages of your beautiful blog. 🙂
Oh you are so welcome, Jennifer! And by the way, my latest binge watch is The Leftovers – a little different but I read the book and was curious. Watched the first season of Broadchurch and thought it was really good!
There are elements of Broadchurch that are very good. Hmmm, I wonder if The Leftovers appears on Canadian Netflix..
I don’t know for sure – I got the DVDs from the library and it’s either HBO or Showtime. I don’t have Netflix so I don’t know how that works!
Nice to see Jennifer featured here. I enjoyed her first book. And I’ve watched The Fall on Netflix too. Good show!
Hi Carrie – thanks for stopping by! I also enjoyed Calmer Girls!
Thank you, Carrie. The calibre of TV programming has improved greatly as of late, especially with the advent of Netflix. The hardest part is separating the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. If you have any suggestions, please throw them my way. 🙂
My college kids love the show Bloodline – it’s on Netflix. I want to watch it based on what they have told me.
I was a bit obsessed with the first season of Bloodline!
One of my favorite Netflix dramas is “Bloodline.” It’s about a family with a black-sheep son. SO good, especially the first season. There have been two seasons so far. I highly recommend it.
That’s all my older kids talk about!
Ha ha ha, look above where I commented earlier! LOVED season one and I was so mad at the end.
Great minds. 😊

New Interview from Barbara Vitelli’s new “Who’s That Blogger” feature.
I know this blogger! I was fortunate enough to meet Jennifer, only recently. I really enjoyed reading Calmer Girls. As for coffee and tea…I’m with you Jennifer!
Hi Jill, thanks for stopping in and saying hello – it’s always fun to see the connections between bloggers. And although I mostly drink tea, whenever I have coffee, I take it black!
Barbara, put milk or sugar in coffee and it’s ruined for me.
Same – I like my tea plain too unless it’s iced tea then I put a splash of lemonade in it!
I drink my coffee black too!
Hi, Jill! Thanks so much.
Lots of fascinating tidbits about you, Jennifer. I’m looking for a new Netflix series. I’ll have to check Broadchurch and Fall out.
Thanks for reading, Jacqui! 🙂
Great feature. I’ll check out her blog and follow along.
So fun to bring everyone together. If you want to be featured, let me know!
Absolutely! I am working on a new book so I will get back to you in a few weeks when I am ready for promo 🙂

I love this series and it is great to see some authors writing about their blogs too – thank you both for such an interesting post.
