Blog Interview with author Jason Pinter Tuesday, September 15, 2009 I played amateur Ellen again, this time interviewing friend and fellow author JASON PINTER. Jason's new Henry Parker book, THE FURY, will be released on September 29th, and its sequel, THE DARKNESS, follows on November 24th. If you haven't discovered Jason yet, give him a try. Formerly an editor, he knows his stuff and is writing up a storm. You can visit him at his website and follow him on Twitter.
