Behind the Headlines

How a Conservative Beauty Queen Became a Target of Fake News and Cancel Culture

By: Karyn Turk

Karyn Turk, the former Mrs. Florida sentenced to prison, opens up about the story behind the salacious headlines. In the days of clickbait news, it’s hard to see the truth behind today’s biggest stories. Karyn Turk, Mrs. Florida 2016, was no stranger to headlines. She worked behind the scenes as an executive for CBS, then won the 2016 Mrs. Florida Pageant just as Donald J. Trump was running for president. She supported his campaign, all while wearing a sash and crown. She became a well-recognized crisis media manager for high-profile political cases that made headlines, and had no fear of controversy. Karyn’s desire to stand up for those she felt were being mistreated was no secret. She was an outspoken, loud, and proud conservative with a social media following and a big mouth. She was reaching a high point in her career. Then cancel culture came for her. The deep-state Florida swamp rose up, and the connected legal gators began to circle her. The headlines were as salacious as they could be: “Mrs. Florida stole pennies off her Mother’s eyes before she died,” “Fresh off a fundraiser for Roger Stone, Mrs. Florida pleads guilty to social security fraud.” The true story was of a daughter who tried to stand up against corruption and abuse—but it was a story that none of the newspapers or media outlets reported. Instead, a misdemeanor for a seventeen-thousand-dollar misappropriation of her mother’s social security pension was the charge, and a month-long jail sentence in a maximum-security prison the resulting consequence—a bizarre result for someone with no criminal record at all. Behind the Headlines reveals how Karyn’s career, family life, and credibility was called into question because of the impact cancel culture has on society.

Merlion and the Bay

By: Karyn R. Workman

Laramie Holden is a fighter. Despite tragic events in her past, she claws her way up the corporate ladder to become the youngest female partner at a San Francisco law firm. A self-professed workaholic, Laramie lands in Singapore to facilitate a business deal for a new luxury hotel, but first she is mandated to take a much needed vacation. With the demands of her career, Laramie never seems to find the time to date-but that is all about to change. In just four years, Akihiro Amori has created a tremendously successful hotel and spa that has become the standard in Singapore and Southeast Asia. He has never been distracted from his professional goals-that is, until Laramie Holden checks into his hotel. Mesmerized by her natural beauty, Akihiro asks Laramie out on a date and ignites a passionate romance. But when Laramie discovers Akihiro is hiding a secret, the trust she once shared with him is destroyed. As she leaves Singapore with nothing but a suitcase and a broken heart, Akihiro wills himself to forget her. With a vast ocean dividing them, only time will tell if the love Laramie and Akihiro created in just thirteen days will triumph over shattered promises.

Desiring Women

The Partnership of Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West

By: Karyn Z. Sproles

On 23 September 1925, Virginia Woolf wrote to Vita Sackville-West: 'if you'll make me up, I'll make you.' In Desiring Women, Karyn Sproles argues that the two writers in fact 'made' each other. Woolf and Sackville-West produced some of the most vibrant and acclaimed work of their respective careers during their passionate affair, and Sproles demonstrates how this body of work was a collaborative project - a partnership - in which they promised to reinvent one another. Sproles argues that in all they wrote during their affair - essays, criticism, novels, poems, biographies, and personal etters - Woolf and Sackville-West struggled to represent their desire for one another and to resist the social pressures that would deny their passion. At the centre of this literary conversation is Orlando, Woolf's biography of Sackville-West. Sproles restores Orlando to the context of Woolf and Sackville-West's discussion of gender and sexuality and demonstrates its importance in Woolf's oeuvre. Sexy and provocative, Desiring Women re-imagines Woolf and Sackville-West as daring, funny, beautiful, and bent on resisting the repression of women's desires.
