An Interview with Author Lisa Carter

Six Poppies is released on the 30th of January and is the heartbreaking tale of Sarah and Carl who meet at Camp Bastian in Afghanistan. She's a nurse, he's a soldier and what they experience while there haunts everyone involved. Upon returning to England they try to get on with their lives. Sarah's fiancee Danny served with Carl and he's been irrevocably changed by what he saw. When circumstance throws Carl and Sarah back together, it's obvious that what they went through has left them broken, but the question is how will they continue? Will they allow the situation to ruin their lives forever? The book asks a lot of important questions about the support available for those who have served and witnessed incredible and terrifying things while doing so - is it enough? Should there be more? Find out what Lisa has to say about the inspiration behind the novel and what she hopes will happen to help those in need.
