In a world increasingly fascinated by the convergence of culture, entertainment, and morality, one Canadian author has captivated the attention of readers and viewers alike with her groundbreaking narrative. Terri-Lyne Gedanitz, originally from Thunder Bay, Ontario, and now residing in Vancouver, is not only celebrated for her extensive career in the film industry but also for her compelling contributions to the literary world. With a life passionately dedicated to storytelling, Gedanitz’s latest venture—the YA graphic novel and coloring book series Karmic—aims to explore new boundaries in fantasy literature and visual storytelling..
Gedanitz’s journey into the realm of storytelling was neither straightforward nor predictable. Having started her career as a talent agent for background actors and commercials, she quickly made a name for herself in casting for music videos and films. Her work on projects like Selfie From Hell, Wrecker, and In The End showcased her keen eye for talent and an unwavering commitment to bringing stories to life through visual media. However, it was her transition into writing that unveiled her versatility as a storyteller. Today, Gedanitz is equally renowned for her fantasy, horror, and thriller screenplays and books aimed at both adults and teens—including titles such as The Dream Writer.
Despite her success across various forms of media, Gedanitz describes Karmic as her “passion project.” The series introduces readers to a unique interpretation of Karma—”She is neither your friend or your foe. She is here to help you reap what you sow.” This tagline encapsulates the essence of Karmic: a being born from mystical justice with shape-shifting abilities tasked with bringing balance to an unjust world. Inspired by godly forces advocating morality and justice, Karmic represents an innovative blend of mythological fantasy with contemporary themes that resonate deeply with today’s youth.
The anticipation surrounding the Karmic series is palpable. Fans eagerly awaiting its release can already pre-order the graphic novel at karmicseries.ca/product/karmic-graphic-novel-1/, while those looking for an interactive experience can find the Karmic Story Coloring Book on Amazon—a creative endeavor that allows aspiring artists to craft their karma stories or poems.
What sets Gedanitz apart is not just her creative genius but also her vision for Karmic’s future beyond print. With plans to adapt the series for film or TV and even explore possibilities within the gaming industry, she is exploring opportunities to expand how stories are consumed across platforms.
Gedanitz’s commitment extends beyond entertainment; through heartfelt blog posts, she delves into topics such as karma, anti-bullying initiatives, and breaking negative cycles—further proving that at the heart of all her projects lies a desire to inspire change and provoke thought.
Before embarking on an international tour that includes making appearances in Amsterdam’s libraries and bookstores—where she hopes to connect directly with European fans—Gedanitz will celebrate Karmic’s launch in Port Coquitlam. Scheduled for October 18th from 6 pm to 8 pm at 2253 Leigh Sq., this event offers free entry for those interested in experiencing what could be Canada’s next big YA phenomenon.

As Terri-Lyne Gedanitz prepares to introduce Amsterdam—and indeed the world—to KARMIC’s captivating universe where justice prevails through mystical interventions; the series seeks to be more than just another addition to young adult fantasy literature, aiming to advocate for moral integrity through engaging storytelling.
