Her critically acclaimed novel, "Looking for Leo," has been adapted as a mini-series for CBS. Her novel, "The Beauty" is set in Newport and Cape Cod and has been called "a terrific fable about the futility of escape, the inevitability of evil and the power of redemption." She has completed work on an independent film adaptation of her novel, "Virgin Kisses," and on a musical review for women entitled, "Where Do I Go Now?" Ms. Nagy has just published her latest novel "Remain Calm," a hilarious, breakneck page-turner full of plot twists and high social satire.

She has been a frequent speaker at the TED Conference in Monterey, California (Technology, Entertainment & Design) and has been interviewed on social issues by Nightline. She has appeared frequently on television and has done over fifty radio interviews on subjects relating to her work and how her themes intersect the zeitgeist. Critics have called her "the social chronicler of her time" and "The female Tom Wolfe" for her ability to "stick pins in all the hot air balloons." Her opinions and observations have been expressed in reviews and articles for national magazines such as Lears, Traveler, Self and Cosmopolitan, as well as in speeches and writing seminars.

Her novels have been published around the world and translated into numerous languages including German, Japanese, Hebrew, Russian and Dutch.
