Dr. Larry Smith

Dr. Larry Smith has spent his life fighting against the odds. For thirty-six years he served as a chiropractor on Vancouver Island, caring for patients before turning to the written word to tell stories of truth, resilience, and he human spirit. He is the author of Embracing the Journey of Recovery and Johnnie and Me. His fiction debut, 2084: The Neuroxone Conspiracy, returns to his hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba—imagining a future where recovery is controlled by corporations and choice itself is outlawed.

A three-time Ironman finisher and seventeen-time marathoner, he brings the endurance of an athlete and the urgency of a survivor to his writing. Sober since 1999, he continues to raise awareness for those struggling with chemical dependency, challenging systems that confuse compliance with healing.
