[Q]: His new vampire thriller  "The Passage " published this month  is a best-seller. The unfinished manuscript sold in a bidding war to Fox 2000 for $1.75 million. And Stephen King called during Cronin's interview on ABC's "Good Morning America" to tell him that he is a fan.
 Cronin talked about vampires  his inspiration for "The Passage" and readers' reaction to his book in a recent interview.
 Cronin: It was her dare. In the fall of 2005 my daughter was 8. I was kind of wondering what to do next and she came to me and she said she thought I should write a book  in her words  "about a girl that saves the world and that it should be interesting." I think every interesting thing a man does in his life  he probably does to impress a girl  and so I wrote this book to impress my daughter.
 Cronin: The word "series" isn't quite right. I want each of these books to be a satisfying book all in itself. ... To call it a trilogy is true but not really the whole truth and not the exact truth  but there are three books all taking place in this world with this basic set of characters.
 Cronin: Oh  yeah. My office is the war room. I've got a white board and photographs and maps and every kind of thing up there.

[Q]: âHe said  âYou should not run for this office ââ said  Jesse Sbaih  an immigrant from Jordan who is now a trial lawyer . This race for the House  in a district that includes a swath of suburban Las Vegas  is his first run for political office.
 Sbaih  said it happened after  he  had entered the House race.  He  met with Reid in August in a meeting room at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel.
 Sbaih  said  he  had sought the meeting in order to win Reidâs support â a key factor in Nevada  where Reid is the unquestioned power broker of Democratic politics. But Reid would not give it   Sbaih  said  and cited Sbaihâs religion as one reason why.
âI did not feel that this was an issue. They made it an issue. My campaign is about me being an American â  Sbaih  said.  He  said  he  had not faced this kind of opposition based on  his  religion before: âI just turned 40. Been in this country for 29 years. And itâs just absolutely shocking that this occurred.â
âSenator Reid did not say that â said Kristen Orthman  a spokeswoman in Reidâs Senate office. â Jesse Sbaih  is a liar and thatâs why  he  is going to lose.â
 Sbaih âs assertion could shake up one of the most competitive House races in the country â a race made possible  in a way  by Reid himself.
On the Republican side  several plausible candidates have already filed to run. On the Democratic side  however  the race was slow to start: late in the summer   Sbaih  was the best-funded and best-known candidate who had declared.
 Sbaih  is an ally of Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.)  who is running  in part  on  his  own remarkable life story.  Sbaih âs parents immigrated from Jordan to Virginia when  he  was 11  and  he  helped support the family by washing dishes in an Italian restaurant as a teen.
Now   Sbaih  said   his  run for office is a way to repay the country for the way it welcomed  his  family.
âIâve always felt: The more America gave me  the more I wanted to give back â  Sbaih  said in an interview with The Washington Post.
But   Sbaih  said   he  was rebuffed when  he  sought to gain Reidâs support.
First   he  said   he  met with a political consultant connected to Reid  Rebecca Lambe. At a coffee shop   Sbaih  said  Lambe brought up his religion and his Arab heritage: âShe said  basically  youâre gonna have a problem winning  as a Muslim  as an Arab.â
 Sbaih  said  he  did not record that meeting with Lambe  or the one  he  had with Reid a few weeks later.
To bolster  his  account   Sbaih  supplied both emails and text messages from the time  in which  he  tells another Reid ally that  he  is âprofoundly disheartened and saddened that the Democratic Party is refusing to accept a candidate like  me  because of my religion and ethnicity.â
In the exchanges of text message and emails provided by Sbaih  however  Reidâs allies do not say explicitly that  Sbaih âs race or religion is a hindrance  nor do they confirm that Reid himself had said so.
Orthman  Reidâs spokeswoman  said that Reid had told  Sbaih   he  should run for another office â instead of jumping straight into a highly competitive House race.

[Q]: Lisa  and Greg Pace were drawn to the tiny town  which boasts about 600 residents  because of its ties to World War II with the Courtland Air Base  which was built during the war as an instrumental training center.
 Lisa  told the Decatur Daily this past is what they pulled from for their restaurant  The Warbird Dinerâs aesthetic.
âThe design for the interior came from the 1940s when the Courtland Air Base was a training facility for the Army Air Corps pilots â Lisa Pace said. âThe airbase has a lot of history that many people donât know about.â
The restaurant is decorated with war memorabilia  photographs and ceiling fans that look like a nose from a WWII fighter jet.  She  also said they are planning to recreate the restaurantâs sign using parts of an old plane.
The diner  which opened early this month  serves traditional American and southern fare like catfish  chicken wings  pork chops and burgers.  Lisa  told the Daily that the fried apple pie is the most popular dessert on the menu.
âWe are proud to recognize all men and women from Lawrence County and Courtland who served in the military in any capacity â  Lisa  said.
