Daria Dontsova was born on June 7, 1952. According to Dontsova's passport, Agrippina Arkadyevna is the daughter of writer Arkady Vasiliev and director of the Mosconcert Tamara Novatskaya. Daria graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University, worked in newspapers and magazines, taught German and was considered a successful person. Then, in the stagnant years, Vasilyeva wrote the first literary opus - a story about steelworkers. The career of a writer-productionist, depicting the heroic workdays Soviet people, did not take place. The unlucky writer was thrown out of the editorial office of the Youth magazine in disgrace. Twice divorced. For the third time, she married Alexander Dontsov, a psychologist, doctor of sciences, professor, dean of the psychology faculty of Moscow State University, academician of the Russian Academy of Education. They have been together for eighteen years. They bring up, as they say, two sons from previous marriages, a common daughter, daughter-in-law, grandson, dogs, cats. There are no mansions, apartments in Paris, fancy jeeps in the family. Daria Dontsova has written 43 books in five years and has already published 34 books, that is, an average of one book per month. To constant questions about how this can be, the writer always answers: “It’s very simple: from eight in the morning until two in the afternoon you need to write ten pages, and from nine to eleven in the evening - five more. And so - every day, regardless of holidays and other valid reasons."

Agrippina began to write ironic detective stories in order to survive. In 1998, she went to the hospital, where she underwent three most difficult operations, and there was no hope for a speedy recovery. Resuscitation, tubes, wires, sensors, groans, wheezing. Time stops, and the whole world of people and things begins to rotate in some kind of orbit. And then an authoritative voice: “If you are going to die, then you will not succeed. You have three orphan children at home, a mother, three dogs, a cat and also me. If you do not make humanity happy with some literary masterpiece, it will not work for you.” forgive." With these words, Agrippina Vasilyeva's husband Alexander Dontsov, Dean of the Faculty of Psychology, handed his wife a pen and paper. He couldn't drag a computer into the emergency room! And that his wife has been writing "to the table" for a long time, he knew from the moment they met.

Either out of resentment, or out of self-pity, or out of spite of death, or out of fear of missing out last chance to write a detective story - Agrippina dreamed about this all her life - she finished writing the novel "The Steep Heirs" by the evening of the fifth day. And at night I woke up from the Homeric laughter that was heard from the corridor. This is her first reader, a nurse on duty, who got acquainted with the ups and downs of the life of a lover of private detective Dasha Vasilyeva, a rich, eccentric, exalted lady, living with an equally cheerful family, consisting of a son and daughter-in-law, daughter, girlfriend and pit bull, Rottweiler, noble dog blood, a pug, a Yorkshire terrier, a poodle, two cats, three guinea pigs and a parrot.

Since then, Dontsova has continued to write - half-sitting on her wide Italian bed, covered with a soft fawn bedspread, in the color of the skins of her favorite pugs. She invariably puts the book "The Twelve Labors of Hercules" of a huge format on her bent knees, and Ada and Mulya settle comfortably under her knees and snore in their sleep. For some reason, pugs always go out for a walk like real writer's dogs - all in ink. But the ace of the detective genre categorically denies that in thoughtfulness he wipes the ever-flowing pens of "Karvin" on soft skins for 1 ruble 50 kopecks. The manuscript is being typed on the computer already at the publishing house. And when the compositors laugh it's good omen. The thing will go.

“When I write,” Dontsova admits, “I am in some kind of semi-conscious state. If the novel is cold, snowing, windy, I start to freeze, despite the fact that the heat outside the window is utter. At a certain moment, my heroes come out from under control and start to live independent life. Once one of the characters winked at me and said: "I killed something, but you didn't even guess!" Well, they got really pissed off."

There are certain indicators of a successful career inherent in a particular profession. For a writer, these are circulation, fans and ratings. In the ratings of the newspaper "Book Review" Daria Dontsova balances between 7th and 1st place. At a party where the Biblio Globus store was presenting awards to the best-selling writers of the year, Boris Akunin told her that it was very interesting for him to look at a lady with whom you constantly grapple in hand-to-hand combat for ratings. They went neck and neck, but now they were scored by Harry Potter, who took 1st place.

And another undoubted indicator of popularity are attempts to "outbid" a successful writer from other publishing houses. Dontsova received tempting offers repeatedly, but each time she refused. “I feel like a mess who was married by a successful man of age. He gave money, and his own house, and clothes, and position in society. He loves you and appreciates who you are. And then a gigolo turns up, seduced by external gloss. Is it really possible to respond with black ingratitude to the good that has been done for you?

Now Dontsova has 52 books, including "Cookery" with branded family recipes. The shooting of the series based on her works will begin soon.

Agrippina Vasilyeva still does not believe in her fantastic luck: “I wake up, look at the shelves and think: where did all this come from? I!"
