Loretta Smith, bestselling author of A Spanner in the Works, returns with Corpus in Extremis—a deeply personal memoir tracing a life shaped by physical challenges, creative ambition, and extraordinary resilience. 

Known for her acclaimed biography of Alice Anderson, Smith now turns the lens on her own story, reflecting on how chronic pain and a lifelong bone condition have influenced her work, identity, and determination to create.

In this conversation, she speaks about the experiences that shaped her writing, the barriers she has navigated, and the ways creativity and persistence have carried her through moments of difficulty and transformation
