Author Interview: Kathleen Mailer
I wanted to spotlight Author Kathleen D. Mailer for this month’s featured piece. She is the author of 60 books, including “Walking in the Wake of the Holy Spirit—Living an Ordinary Life with an Extraordinary God.” She has helped people write, publish and market their own books for over two decades. Thank you, Kathleen for taking the time to speak with me today!
Me: Tell me about your recent book, “Walking in the Wake of the Holy Spirit—Living an Ordinary Life with an Extraordinary God.”
Kathleen: I have over 60 books that I have written and published in just over two decades. Each book was written for specific purposes and released to do that which it was intended to do. However, my book, “Walking in the Wake of the Holy Spirit—Living an Ordinary Life with an Extraordinary God” was very different for me. It is my Romans 12:1-2 MSG life story—a testimony of how faithful our God really is. It is a picture of how God used my everyday life and brought me through the ‘test’ of my testimony, proving to me and those that walked with me through these God encounters that God’s specialty is ‘the impossible’. It shares the revelatory and miraculous truth of how Holy Spirit is our unequaled helpmate, teacher, comforter, friend, and the author of lives. I am currently living the life I never dared to dream about…and all the glory goes to our blessed God!
Me: Awesome! What inspired you to be an author?
Kathleen: When I was young, I would always create ‘books’ with folded paper and staples. I wrote poems and created stories. As a matter of fact, when I was in grade 11 or 12, we had an English class assignment for a creative writing project. I wrote a children’s book called “Tracey’s Birthday”. It was about an 8-year-old girl who was sent on a treasure hunt that led her to come back home and find that the treasure was a surprise birthday party that her parents had thrown in her honor. My teacher spoke to the seeds of destiny within me by her remarks, “Kathy, you should have this book published!” I call this the ‘breadcrumbs’ of life. The Lord leads us with ‘breadcrumbs’ like this to help us clearly walk the path of our destiny. As a side note, I DID indeed publish this story for my daughter when she was 8 years old. I renamed it “Dannielle’s Birthday” in her honor. However, the catalyst that really started this journey of mine was the fact that I was in business, and my ideal clients at the time were the new entrepreneurs I was mentoring. I would get asked the same questions over and over. I casually mentioned one time, “If I had a quarter every time I got asked that question…” Then, my next thought was, “If I just wrote this down, it would save me a ton of time and help so many more people all at once. If only I could systemize this process.” DING! When that lightbulb went off, a picture of my first book ascended into the forefront of my mind.
Me: Thank you for sharing your story! What do you hope your readers will gain from reading your book?
Kathleen: A clear revelation of themselves that Holy Spirit gives us POWER to do the greater works that Jesus talked about. The Bible is TRUTH. We can live inside the Word because Jesus lives in us, and we abide in Him. I want them to realize that, when you walk in the wake of the Holy Spirit, you can experience more, be more, hear more, know more, do more, live more, prosper more, and love more. This kind of life is designed to point others to Jesus Christ, the One who makes it all possible. THIS is Kingdom living. THIS is the life that Jesus died on the cross to give us. THIS is the journey of our destiny.
