The latest victim of the ailing economy is the wonderful publication Realms of Fantasy.  Edited by my agent Shawna McCarthy since its founding, it has long been the best print magazine for fantasy.  The last issue will be April 2009.  A story I just sold them, “Healing Benjamin,” won’t be published.  Not too long ago, I learned my editor at Bantam has been “let go.”  I hate that expression—as if people are dying to be unemployed, and sometimes you just have to  let them.  More details on the Realms closing is available at SFScope.
