hil Nagy is an Ottawa-based writer and storyteller. He is married with two children and a growing number of grandchildren. His early career was as a teacher of high school mathematics and science.

| The fiction writing started about the time he retired. He has finished two novels, and is working on a third. As well, he has amassed a collection of short stories, most written to be told aloud in traditional storytelling fashion. He is an active member of Ottawa StoryTellers (www.ottawastorytellers.ca) |
| |
| His first novel, Up Deedle Creek, is a gentle satire of country life and rural politics. His second novel, A Degree of Truth, is a somewhat less gentle satire of life at a small university. Like all fiction, both have a basis in the author’s reality, either as a cottage-owner or a university professor. The details, of course, are entirely fictional. |
| |
| His current novel, reasonably close to being finished, is tentatively titled Osceola Street. It is the story of two men seeking to change their lives as they approach middle age. |
