A three-book series combining romance, peril, and supernatural intrigue as the celebrated writer searches for a partner to bring her captivating narrative world to the big or small screen

A mysterious realm. Hazardous truths. Entangled affection. And a shadowy evil lurking beneath a seemingly peaceful community. Esteemed writer Wendy M. Kok has crafted all of this into her three-novel sequence, *The Choice*, *A Grey Resort*, and *An Awakening*, part of the broader *A Thousand Years of Crooked Forest* universe. Now, she feels this fictional landscape is prepared for its following step: adaptation for visual media.

Kok is on the hunt for a producer capable of recognizing the cinematic promise of her writing and envisioning the creation of a compelling film or television project centered on the characters, environment, and paranormal elements that form the core of the series.

“I am searching for a producer who grasps the strength of these tales and sees the opportunities that exist beyond the printed page,” Kok states. “A suitable creative collaboration could turn this universe into something viewers can watch, feel, and personally connect with. I would truly like to see these characters and their narratives reach a significantly broader audience through cinema or TV.”
Kok believes audiences are eager for stories that feel novel, surprising, and distinct, and her series provides a realm where nothing is ever quite what it seems. Merging romance, mystery, suspense, and paranormal drama, the novels welcome readers into a richly detailed universe where peril hides just beneath the surface, and every decision may lead to unforeseen results.
Placed against the haunting scenery of Wisconsin’s Northwoods, the sequence transports readers to an atmospheric setting filled with striking visuals, sudden turns, and profoundly individual narratives. Kok’s works offer more than conventional storytelling; they encourage readers to reflect internally and, via the medium of fiction, examine intricate issues regarding personal challenges, connections, belief, destiny, and the universal realities that influence human existence.
“These tales are about far more than just romance or tension. They concern the decisions individuals make when everything is at stake, the secrets that hold us captive, and the bonds that can either rescue us or place us in more peril,” Kok explains. “I built a world that I hope readers can step into and live for themselves.”
As the story advances, dark forces continue to close in on Neelsville. Birds collide with windows. Church crosses are inverted. And individuals move among the living with eyes as black as midnight. Against this unsettling setting, Kok mixes paranormal suspense, mystery, romance, and themes of faith, humanity, and fate into a narrative universe that could translate effectively to the screen.
Reviewers have praised the trilogy, with one Amazon critic calling *The Choice* an “action-packed good versus evil story” containing “fantastic characters” and an exciting combination of “black-eyed psychos, witches, immortals, and a sexy bad guy.”
“My series pushes beyond the ordinary and conventional,” Kok concludes. “They give fans an escape into fantasy and adventure that ignites the imagination. Now, I feel it is the right moment to bring that same energy and thrill to the screen. I am seeking the ideal producer to assist in bringing this universe to life and introducing these characters and their tales to an even larger audience.”
