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.
