BIJU IN VIENNA

SUSAN Cohen, born and grown in Sydney, Australia, holds degrees in anthropology, English literature (Sydney University) and linguistics (University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne). Following her heart, she studied Italian and la dolce vita in Perugia and then moved to Vienna, probably for the rest of her life. She has spent many of her waking hours editing publications and teaching writing at Vienna-based UN organizations, resorting to creative writing for much needed comic relief. Susan started writing children’s stories in 2016, when her four-year-old grandson, Daniel, kept asking her for more and more tales about his adventures with his friend Biju, a little African elephant. Now, she can’t stop.
