July 2026 International Impact Book Awards Event & Gala

Multicultural & Interracial Romance Honoree

I was honored to stand with fellow authors whose work uplifts readers worldwide. My message of transformational love — the courage that awakens the hero within and protects those we cherish — resonated deeply at the IIBA gala and is reflected in my romantic‑suspense fiction published under the Kiva Wolfe™ brand.

Meet the Authors Making an Impact

Video

At the IIBA Gala, I had the joy of sharing how my fiction, published under the Kiva Wolfe™ brand, first came to life and the message at the heart of my work — transformational love. In this brief and heartfelt conversation, I talk about the journey that shaped my books and why I’m grateful to the International Impact Book Awards for championing indie authors. I hope it inspires you to watch and connect with the deeper meaning behind my storytelling.
