Colm McElwain

I'm the author of children' fantasy book, James Clyde and the Diamonds of Orchestra. I'm a qualified physical education teacher, but my passion is writing. I've always loved storytelling, whether through the medium of literature or film. James Clyde and the Diamonds of Orchestra is my first novel and brings a very fulfilling creative experience spanning a number of years to an end. James Clyde has been compared to The Hobbit and the Harry Potter series. Please view the James Clyde book trailer which demonstrates just how cinematic James Clyde could be. The Hobbit was first published in 1937 and the first movie in the new trilogy was released in 2012. A gap of 75 years! Hopefully I won't have to wait 75 years before James Clyde and the Diamonds of Orchestra is on the big screen. Are you the next Peter Jackson? If so, I can be contacted through the James Clyde website at
