About this title

Synopsis

A Contemporary Novel

About the Author

Since January of 2000, Jim LaBate has worked as a writing specialist in The Writing Center at Hudson Valley Community College (HVCC) in Troy, New York.

Originally from Amsterdam, New York, Jim graduated from Saint Mary's Institute and Bishop Scully High School. He earned his bachelor's degree in English from Siena College in Loudonville, New York, and his master's degree, also in English, from The College of Saint Rose in Albany, New York.

Jim has spent his entire career as either a teacher or a writer. He taught physical education as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Golfito, Costa Rica for two years. He taught high-school English for ten years (one year at Vincentian Institute in Albany, New York, and nine years at Keveny Memorial Acadmey in Cohoes, New York). Then, he worked for ten years as a writer for Newkirk Products in Albany, New York, before moving to HVCC.

In his first two works of fiction -- "Let's Go, Gaels" and "Mickey Mantle Day in Amsterdam" -- Jim tells stories about a 12-year-old boy who grew up in the former "Rug Capital of the World," Amsterdam, New York. While those novels covered, respectively, one week and one day in the early life of the narrator, "Things I Threw in the River" covers a much broader spectrum of the narrator's life, and all the stories in the novel end at the Mohawk River. Jim's fourth novel, however, introduces a new protagonist altogether.

Jim lives in Clifton Park, New York, with his wife, Barbara. They have two grown daughters: Maria and Katrina.
