Interview with author of 'Suicide Game'

It is my pleasure to welcome today another amazing author to my blog.



Just...Haidji, as she likes to refer to herself, was 12 when she started to write her stories and poems. Since then she has been producing abstract work that resonates with warmth and life.

Her stories create images in the reader’s mind, as would a word be a brushstroke painting inside your imagination.

A captivating blend of Brazilian flair, Teutonic precision and Dutch pragmatism makes Haidji's work unique, appealing and thought-provoking. Her published works include Life into Mist, Fancy & Adriaan, and
SG- Suicide Game.

Since 1995 Haidji has exhibited her work, realized her projects and told her stories in many countries: Germany, Brazil, Italy, Holland, Switzerland, England, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, Australia, and the United States.



What inspired you to write Suicide Game?

SG – Suicide Game is based on a dream I had. The title was already there, in my dream.

How long did it take you to write “SG-Suicide Game”?

I took years to write SG- Suicide Game. I don’t know how many anymore. The book make persons cry and laugh. It is very intense, writing this book was overwhelming.

What is the message that you want to give through Suicide Game?

There are many messages inside the story. I want each person to find their own message in the book. But maybe a main one is, “Don’t kill your dream to achieve your goals“.

Your favorite genre/author?

Ficion. Shakespeare.

Do you have current work in progress?

I am writing a new book..."Antipoda", that will be ready in about 2 or 3 years.

Do you have any advice for other writers?

Just write and write and write. Read all you wrote as would you be someone else. Think about it. And write it all again. The first time you write something, don’t think about it, just write it down. Accept good critics, they help you to grow.

Here is a sneak peak at Suicide Game:


SG- Suicide Game is a metaphor about the society where persons almost kill themselves to achieve their goals and forget their dreams, but, in the book you will find also real love, friendship, loyalty, hope and an unexpected finale showing the good essence of the human seed. Eight thousand candidates sign up for the Suicide Game. Only one can win. Their destination is the Night Stadium: a place of makeup and music, fear and adrenaline, blood and romance, celebration and death. Each candidate has his or her own reason for entering the Game. The Council runs the Game. The outcome of the Game is left to fate...in the laps of the gods. The candidates will jump to their deaths in order to win everything, before capacity crowds in the Stadium. The public follows every jump, live on TV and mobile device screens, choosing their favorite candidates and betting on their lives. Who will win the game? Candidate 0907 - Moma - the terrorist? Candidate 1518 - Fabio Giovanni Cristiani - the cyclist? Candidate 3507 - Anthony Henrik Gustav - the lawyer? Candidate 4914 - Jens Plaato - the politician? Candidate 4918 - Sarah Mondstein - the career woman? Candidate 5151 - Bianca White - just a girl ? Candidate 7195 - The Scientist? …Or is it a completely different Candidate? The Game’s community also includes geeks, mafia, makeup artists, master chefs, models, musicians, spies, terrorists, and many others. It boldly imagines a place where death and denial are interwoven with hope, choices and the innate desire for happiness. Impressive in the totality of its vision, it is an exploration of the best and worst things in our lives, our nightmares, and especially our dreams.


Suicide Game is available on Amazon.



Thank you so much for allowing us into your world, Haidji. It's been my extreme pleasure to host you today. I wish you success in your writing.
