The writer Julia Shilova began to conquer the literary Olympus not so long ago, but she already managed to become one of the most famous and successful women in Russia. Her books are very popular not only among readers of all ages, but even among men. As the writer herself says, she spied many plot twists for her works in life. And this is not surprising, because the life of Yulia Shilova, like her heroines, is full of adventure. It also raises a lot of questions.
There are several versions of her biography. They are very different from each other. The biography of Yulia Shilova, told by herself, was repeatedly questioned. Even journalistic investigations were carried out that gave unexpected answers.
The childhood and youth of the writer. First version
Julia Antonova (maiden name of the writer) was born in the distant Primorsky Territory, the glorious city of Artem. Her family did not have a high level of income: Vitaly Olegovich worked as an investigator of the criminal investigation department, and Lyudmila Andreevna was a dispatcher at an electrical substation. Vitaly Olegovich and Lyudmila Andreevna divorced when Julia was a small child. The writer’s mother married again, the girl was brought up in the family of her mother and stepfather.
From an early age, Julia discovered a craving for creativity. But then she was not yet interested in writing. Much stronger attracted to Julia scene. The future writer studied ballet and wanted to enter the theater. To this end, she went to Moscow. Julia submitted documents to many theater schools, but could not enter. For some time, Julia worked in the Riga market. But then she returned to her native land.
Julia met with the artists of the dance show. Together with them, she was able to go to Japan to speak. And it was there that she met her first husband.
The childhood and youth of the writer. Second version
The second version of the biography of the writer is less critical. The beginning of this story is exactly the same as the first. Julia was born in Primorsky Krai and graduated from the Faculty of Journalism in the same place, having received a profession. She did not try to enter the theater, journalism and the first literary experiments attracted her much more. Shilova’s works were already published in well-known literary magazines. But so far she has not found her calling - female detectives. Julia met her husband not in Japan, but in Russia. And left to live with him in Vladivostok.
First husband and business
Julia Shilova said that she was happy in marriage with her first husband Oleg. He was a businessman, his business was successful. Therefore, the young family did not know the need and happily received the news that a child would soon appear in their family. In 1993, Julia Shilova gave birth to a daughter Lolita.
But family happiness did not last long: the husband of the future writer died. And again there are two versions of his early death. According to one of them, the businessman was killed by bandits, of whom there were many in the 90s. And on the other - the writer’s husband died in an accident.
Without giving up after the death of her beloved spouse, Julia sold everything and went to conquer Moscow. In the city, she began her business. Julia Shilova was selling medicines. But her business went bad during default. The woman again was left without money.
Second husband and the beginning of a writing career
Julia married again to a man named Igor. In a second marriage in 1997, she gave birth to a daughter, Zlata. But unfortunately, with this person, Shilova was not able to build a long and happy life. She divorced her second husband. But after that, he again entered the life of the writer in very unpleasant circumstances. Julia Shilova said that Igor ordered her murder.
Julia went to the hospital. She underwent several operations to restore her appearance after beating. Igor is currently on the federal wanted list.
But this version was often disputed. Some believe that in the biography of Shilova there were no such facts, they are only the fruit of competent PR. And the operations were to change the appearance, because the writer was not satisfied with some features of her face.
During treatment in the hospital, one of his friends told Julia to try herself in the literary field. Julia decided to take a chance. And already in 2000, the first and second books of the writer were published.
