Janet Emily Demarest

Storyteller Janet Emily Demarest has been bringing the past to life, entertaining and educating audiences for nearly fifteen years with her unique storytelling style, and her insightful versions of historic American tales and traditions. Her first book, "Tales from the General Store: The Legends of Long Island" was released in September, 2014. Her newest book, "A Merry, Very Victorian Christmas!" launched on November 1, 2016.

Her insight on values, as seen through the spectrum of American history, brings her to universities and adult groups for lectures dealing with isolating values and "listening first, talking later". She is currently working on a new book dealing with a similar concept for children.
