The Battersby Duo
Back in the day Tim and Laura Battersby sang to kids at parties, schools, festivals, and theaters. Quite unintentionally they earned a living doing something they dearly loved doing. They began writing very silly songs and discovered that the kids loved their wacky humor. In 2010 they wrote and produced their 10th Children's music album called Sunny Days, which that year was nominated for a GRAMMY award.
Laura is a sociologist, and Tim has a degree in English literature. As a counterbalance, they began writing adult mystery novels, and to date have penned 14 books, 11 of which have been recorded by them for Audible Books.
