October Novel Essential Information

Novel Title: Finding Honour
Time Setting: Modern day
Genre: Thriller/Suspense
Minimum Word Count Goal: 120,000 words
Timespan: April-August
Location(s): Mackenzie and elsewhere throughout British Columbia
Main Characters: Borden Crosby, Eirian "Eira" O'Riordan, Honour Sorken
Background Information: Borden was born and raised in the logging town of Mackenzie and had a fairly insignificant childhood. In his teens he was involved in a terrifying one-car rollover but escaped largely uninjured — physically. After he graduated he joined the military and was stationed in Nova Scotia. Five years ago his military career was abruptly terminated due to a dishonourable discharge, and he was imprisoned on assault charges.
Eira was born in Ireland and moved to Canada — settling in Nanaimo, British Columbia, specifically — before she began school. Her brother, and only sibling, stared to become acquainted with unsavoury  company in High School and soon he was engaging in shady activities his family really knew nothing about; but since Christmas Eira has learned quite a bit — and really wishes she would've known what he'd been up to and could've talked him out of it.
Honour was inserted into the foster system when she was one day old and has been with one kind, loving family from day one, enjoying life in Mackenzie, British Columbia. She's just started school and is well-known as a darling sweetheart throughout the community, along with having a profound understanding of things around her that children her age aren't expected to understand. Her parents — if she has any — are unknown, and many honestly hope they never make an appearance and take Honour away from them.
