What a terrific story The Grand Hotel is. It’s my first read of anything written by Gregory Day, but it won’t be my last.
Inspirational also, the story, in a very personal way,’cause I’d like to have a go at having a pub in the bush. I’d never be as easy-going and capable as Noel was though. Note, I haven’t finished the whole book yet, so my comments might be completely off.
Thanks Gregory (Greg?), your story’s being read by me at a time when I lhave a need of some idiosyncratic behaviour (and the laughable predictability of the suits.) Needs mine: a good dose of weird ad wonderful characters, laughs and sighs. Maybe a tear or two.

Hello Greg as yet I have not read any your books but have ordered The Grand Hotel and am hoping it arrives soon .
I picked up a coaster advertising it in a book shop last year and had forgotten about it and found the book mark again in our caravan when cleaning it this week.
The reason I picked it up from the table in the book shop cafe was because of your name I am in the middle of doing my family history and the name Day is the one I am trying to concentrate on at the moment If its at all possible could you please send me an email with names of your Grandparents and great Grandparents please

Hi Greg

Our latest read is The Grand Hotel – we generally go aff on all sorts of tangents, and we would love it if you would consider joining us as our guest of honour and keeping us on track! Let me know if you are interested.

Hi Greg,
I was born Jane Breheney.
I am Mark Breheney’s neice.
My sister Susan passed this on to me.
She lives in Port Macquarie and sms’d me that you were on radio national.
I think her timetables may be different to ours though….
I remember great times at Bolinda Road.
I remember the Christmas’s that you and your family rocked up too.
I just wanted to email you and wish you all the best with your book.
We have a beach house in Anglesea so I will purchase your novel ( the only time I really get to read). take it down there and curl up in front of the fire and turn the pages.
Sending you my warmest regards,
Jane Dillon ( Breheney)

Greg – it’s great to see you are still pumping out the words. Your reviews have been positive and although I am only a third of the way through your novels i fully intend to catch up.
I loved your story in the age this week and i hope your revenge is sweet and your vocal chords are not too shot after the Grand Final replay this week.
Go the Woods !
