BELMAR, NJ – The Belmar Public Library invites readers of all ages to a special literary event featuring over forty authors, including bestselling mother-daughter authors Caridad Piñeiro and Samantha Ann on October 17 from Noon to 4 p.m. at Taylor Pavilion in Belmar.
This unique event offers the community an opportunity to meet many local authors as well as these two accomplished New Jersey authors whose successful writing careers span multiple genres and generations.

Caridad Piñeiro is a New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestselling author of romantic suspense, contemporary romance, and paranormal fiction.

Joining her is daughter Samantha Ann, a New Jersey author whose love of storytelling began in elementary school and grew into a successful writing and online teaching career. Samantha is the creator of the popular Korean from Context website and author of the novels Seoul Searching, Matching Set, and The Idolized Series. Her innovative approach to learning Korean was featured on the Forbes blog, and she has built a devoted audience of more than 20,000 followers on TikTok through creative book promotion and engaging content.
