I started writing as a child, but on the way to my vocation I changed many professions: university teacher, translator, top manager, editor-in-chief of a magazine. Happiness, Diana believes, lies in creativity and family. Together with her husband (married for 20 years), she is raising three daughters, two of whom are adopted. She heads the ABC of Adoptive Family Club, which she created, writes books and works as a literary columnist on Kommersant FM radio.
