In response to a recent query in net.sf-lovers, wxlvax!dann told me about a book titled "Charles Fort Never Mentioned Wombats". He wasn't sure of the author, but he recalled it having something to do with a science fiction convention in Australia. Any pointers would be appreciated. _____________________________________ Bruce Smith, UNC-Chapel Hill decvax!duke!unc!bts (USENET) bts.unc@CSnet@Relay (lesser NETworks)

Well, I know of one SF book with wombats in it. The book is 'Charles Fort Never Mentioned Wombats'. It is about strange occurences at AussieCon (Australia). You see, Aliens only show up on Earth when there is an SF convention there, so they can blend in with the (costumed) crowd . . . Many Fans who show up at a Con are psychic too. That's why they like SF -- they can identify with the main characters in the books. I wish I could remember the name of the author, because seems like it is a sequel to another book. I want to read *that* book too. Does anyone know the author? This is GREAT SF (well, SF anyway). Wombats are my favorite animals, too.
