I heard that Updike passed away. I hope it’s not true. I loved his Becht (sic) books especially, which I know is blasphemy since they are minor in his canon.
Also heard a rumor RofF is leaving us. oy.

The news outlets are reporting that Updike did indeed, sadly, pass away.
As for Realms of Fantasy, SFscope is reporting that it’s ceasing publication with the April issue:

Obits in NYTs and on BBC, too. I didn’t even know he was ill.

I left a link to the story as I read it, from comcast. It was being filtered. Maybe it will show up?

Yeah, I heard about it a couple of hours ago. RotF? Realms is closing as well? I guess things come in threes, as I learned today that the site where I’ve added review/interview content for years, wotmania, is closing in the summertime. Ay, what a melancholy convergence there!

I loved working for Realms. Laura Cleveland was an awesome editor.

Realms of Fantasy?
I hope you’re talking about some other publication/site.
