My name is Nicholas Schear I am fifteen and I live in Corona, CA with my family. I am currently finishing my sophomore year of high school and working on my own novel, The Reign of Fire and Ice. I have been working on my book since eighth grade and recently a poem from my novel was published in a poetry book called Discovered.  In my spare time I practice violin for my community’s orchestra and rehearse for the three choirs I sing in. I have been homeschooled most of my life and so far homeschooling has allowed me opportunities to explore the things I love most. My passions are reading, writing and almost anything nerdy or geeky.
