Hello,
my name is Christine d’Abo! Thank you so much for having me here on the blog
today. I’m very honored to have been asked to participate in the 2015 Riptide
Holiday charity anthology. The holidays are the perfect time to not only give
back to our community, but to raise awareness of the struggles that some of our
youth endure.
When
these teens should be enjoying candy, presents, movies and fun, they’re
struggling with their families, friends and their self-images. No one should
feel anything but love and support this time of year.
This is
my small way of helping out, of paying it forward. I want to challenge each of
you to do something this holiday season to pay it forward. Volunteer at a local
food bank, soup kitchen or other community support organization. Buy a stranger
a coffee. Pay for the meal of a young family. Give someone a hug.
Every
small act of kindness makes the world a better place.
I wish
you all the best this holiday season.

Twitter as @Christine_dAbo and have a monthly newsletter. If you’d like to sign

About Rebound
Remedy:
The last thing
Cole expects to get for the holidays is dumped. But there he is, in the
airport on his way to Banff for a romantic getaway, helplessly watching as his
boyfriend’s ex declares undying love, proposes—and is accepted. With a few
weeks to go until Christmas, Cole’s mood dives from jolly to jaded. But instead
of sitting at home alone and feeling sorry for himself, he goes to his favorite
bar, McGregor’s, for a pint and some company.
The moment Owen
McGregor sets eyes on Cole, he knows there’s something wrong. So he takes it
upon himself to ensure that Cole has a happy holiday: twelve outings for the
twelve days before Christmas. Even if he can’t quite think up twelve activities
that don’t involve
getting the forlorn hunk into his bed.
With each outing
they take together, Cole realizes that the love he thought he’d shared with his
ex was less than perfect. And that Owen might prove to be more than just his
rebound remedy.
Rebound
Remedy is one of Riptide's 2015 charity
