Cory Haywood isn’t your typical journalist. He doesn’t write stories to accommodate the sensibilities of his readers or the general public. In fact, Mr. Haywood is one of the last few writers on Earth with the intestinal fortitude to provide honest, uninhibited commentary no matter who is reading. In an era when speaking your mind is becoming a cardinal sin, Mr. Haywood bravely articulates his thoughts with the fearlessness of soldier thrusting himself into battle. He’s not only a writer, he’s a warrior for truth.
