Janita Cunnington

Janita Cunnington, acclaimed Australian author, was born into the postwar austerity era, a time that profoundly shaped her literary voice. Raised amid the evocative Queenslander homes of her childhood, Janita developed a deep fascination with the stories houses hold, weaving these themes into her richly textured narratives. Her diverse body of work includes poetry, articles, public information materials, and a travel guide to South-east Queensland co-authored with her husband, Col. She has also published two novels with Penguin Random House, The River House and Child of Mine, which have garnered critical praise. Janita’s storytelling blends private memories with historical insight, creating compelling dramas set against the backdrop of Australian history. Her latest novel, The House Keeper, published by Freshwater Publishing, continues this tradition, exploring the intimate and often hidden lives within a grand old home. Janita lives in Brisbane, where she continues to write and inspire readers with her unique perspective on the past and present.
