Morning Brew – Thurs. March 21: The return of “Nikki & Nora,” Amanda Leigh Dunn is in the Smithsonian

Good morning!

Ronald Reagan‘s daughter Patti Davis has written a story about a woman who falls for her sister-in-law in the book Till Human Voices Wake Us. “This is not me. None of it is autobiographical,” she told The New York Post. “I didn’t want to write ‘Fifty Shades of’ whatever. It’s a love story.”

If you were a fan of Nikki & Nora, you’ll be happy to hear there’s an Indiegogo campaign to get it made into a new web series. From the press release:

The N&N Files follows New Orleans locals Nikki Beaumont (Liz Vassey) and Nora Delany (Christina Cox) as they juggle the inner-workings of their personal lives with their roles as private investigators in America’s oldest party town. Season One “Music, Mayhem and Mothers” takes Nikki and Nora into the underbelly of the New Orleans’ music scene when they’re hired to work on a case that puts them in the spotlight and the headlights. In the meantime, at home, Nikki and Nora tackle renovating their house while navigating the rising tide of resurfacing family issues.

I wonder if that leaves them any time to go to Bourbon Street.
