Self Inflicted: Before the Scars: Introducing the Past of Liam, Aislynn, Gabe, and Trent

by Harley Turner

Liam and Aislynn have been around since the beginning of Self Inflicted, but Gabe and Trent don't make their appearance until Scars Fade. Learn more about the past of these characters. Liam was a young teenager when he lost his older brother to pancreatic cancer. Not knowing where to turn, he joined a support group for people who had lost loved ones to cancer. In the group, he met Aurora and immediately fell in love with her, but Aurora wasn't ready for a relationship. How did Liam end up with Aislynn? Aislynn had known Aurora since elementary school, but they were never friends until Rory returned to high school after spending years being homeschooled. Gabe was a player. He never wanted a relationship. Why should he when he could have any girl he wanted? That all changed when he met Rachel. Trent loved his life. He could get any drug or girl he wanted, except for Tamara. When buried in the world of drugs, he did a lot of stupid things. Can he overcome his past?

About the author

I started seriously writing when my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer. I needed to find a way to escape the world I was living in, and for once, reading just wasn't cutting it.

I had a story running around in my head for years, and I had never bothered to put it on paper. Once I started writing, I couldn't stop. The First Love series was born.

Follow Marissa as she meets and falls in love with the older bad boy Chad in Summer Love. Watch their relationship grow. When Marissa goes home at the end of the summer, she doesn't know what to expect. In Autumn Goodbye, their relationship hits more than a few rocky patches.

Another new novel of mine, From the Corner of Her Eye, shows how Kylie deals with being "different" from other children her age. She sees ghosts and eventually learns to communicate with them. Can she uncover the truth about her boyfriend's brother's death? Can she make the visions stop so she can just be "normal?"

A new project of mine is Self Inflicted. Aurora is a part of a toxic relationship with Erik, but will she realize it before it's too late?
