such historical figures as Abraham Lincoln, as well as celebrities and sports stars including John
Lithgow, Diane Sawyer, Queen Latifah, Keira Knightly, and Grant Hill

Herman says, The moment is
right to introduce a whole new generation of readers to Peanuts. With
the major marketing that is going
hand in hand with the movie release,
the beloved gang will be everywhere.
We have a golden opportunity to get

NEGOTIATING THE
ZIGZAGS OF LIFE
BETH LEVINE
I love the crew. They are extended family members. I have also
learned how to enjoy being alone. I enjoy the commotion, but
I also cherish my moments of solitude.
I hope first and foremost that readers enjoy the book and are
entertained. I hope they are inspired to build their own form
of personal strength, which I know will improve their bodies,
their minds, their spirit, and their lives. One baby step at a
time! That is my philosophy. Small changes and small steps
lead to big changes and a new you.

There are times when living under a microscope can be challenging, but the upside is immense. I have met thousands of
inspiring and amazing people along the way, and the connection
I feel with people is a great joy in my life. I also think showing
people that no matter what fame, beauty, wealth, or privilege
anyone might seem to have, the real privilege in life is having
a close, loving family. No matter what, I value the love and bond
we have above all. Thats what really matters in the end.

You Knew Me When and When We Fall.

purchased from the truck.

Its a mind ****. You go to audition after audition, and
there are 1,000 more nos than yeses. And you try to
find that one little thing that you can change that will
make all the difference. Maybe if I lose five more
pounds. Or Maybe if I had gone to that school. Or
Maybe if I had worked on the lines for 30 more minutes. And its hard to step back and realize that its not
even personal. It wasnt about your talent. Its not that
youre bad or youre good. Most likely, the casting
director already had a person in their head they were
looking forand you werent it. Or even worse, the
role had already been filled, and they were just holding
auditions to follow protocol. Even when you get chosen for a role, success is so fickle and fleeting. A gig
today doesnt mean a gig tomorrow. Unless youre
Brad Pitt or Will Smith, and you can make your own
demands, youre always going to be waiting for the
approval of someone else. In order to stay sane, youve
got to find other things or people in your life that bring
you value. You cant just be that weird actor person.

NOMADIC DINING
Sharing the same name as the celebrated hotel it inhabits,
NoMad has sealed its rep as one of Manhattans culinary highlights. Carved up into a series of distinctly different spaces
including a see-and-be-seen Atrium, the stately old-world
Parlour, and snacks-only Librarythe restaurant is the hipper, (slightly) more relaxed sibling of Michelin-starred
Eleven Madison Park. The menus are eclectic,
Eurocentric, and, true to chef Daniel Humms
reputation, just a little playful. (1170 Broadway
at 28th Street, 347-472-5660, www.thenomadhotel.com)
DOCKSIDE VIEWS
Salvaged from the bottom of the sea (or at least the
Chesapeake Bay), the Lightship Frying Pan and the
two-tiered dockside bar where its parked are fine
go-to spots for a sundowner. On warm days, the
rustic open-air space brings in the crowds, who
come to laze on deck chairs, eat burgers off the sizzling grill,
drink ice-cold beers, and admire the fine views across the Hudson to, uh, New Jersey. (Pier 66 at West 26th Street, 212-9896363, www.fryingpan.com)
PORTAL TO ANOTHER WORLD
One of the most immersive theater experiences ever conceived,
Sleep No More is a loosely based retelling of Macbeth set inside
a series of Chelsea warehouses that have been redesigned to
look like an abandoned hotel. Its a choose-your-own-adventure kind of experience, with audience members free to wander the elaborate rooms (ballroom, graveyard, taxidermy shop,
lunatic asylum) and interact with the actors, who perform a
variety of scenes that border on the bizarre and the risqu.
(McKittrick Hotel, 530 W. 27th St., between 10th and 11th
Avenues, 866-811-4111, www.sleepnomorenyc.com)

Reveal Secrets
on the
Pencil Panel
ont tell anyone, confides bestselling author Brad
Meltzer about todays panel Inside the Mystery
Writers Studio (Room 1A23, 2:303:30 p.m.),
in which he is participating with fellow superstars
James Patterson and Nelson DeMille. But I will
be arm-wrestling Patterson, who I plan to beat,
and then have to take on DeMille. So get ready.
Refereeing the book brawl will be fellow novelist Michael
Koryta who hopes to give fans the chance to learn something
new that they cant find on the Internet. Heres a preview of
a few secrets that will be revealed.
A little known fact about Koryta is that his settings choose
him, not the other way around. He recalls one example when
he was backpacking with friends in Montana and Wyoming:
We were at the top of this incredible vista in the Beartooth
Mountains. It was just at that moment that I realized how
alone we were and how desolate the area washow beautiful
it was, too. I remember very distinctly thinking, I could put
some characters in a lot of trouble up here, and that started
the wheels turning. Three years later I had a book out of it,
Those Who Wish Me Dead (Little, Brown, 2014).
James Patterson, one of the more prolific writers on the
paneland in the worldbelieves readers will be surprised
to learn that he does not create at the computer. I write with
a pencil, he tells Show Daily@BookCon.I have an assistant,
