Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

No, but I have used an original Macintosh!

What does it mean to be a journalist?

My work feels meaningful when it helps people understand different underground subcultures/lifestyles and encourages them to travel.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Email. http://www.lacarmina.com/contact.php

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

Under the name Carmen Wong, La Carmina wrote for high school papers.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

Most media reports about Japanese bagel heads were over-blown and misinformed. I'm happy that my stories set the record straight.

When's the best time to pitch you?

I'm a night owl.

What's your favorite drink?

The devil's cup! I wrote about devilish matters in my new book, The Little Book of Satanism: A Guide to Satanic History, Culture & Wisdom.
