Bio
"Benj Franklin" (not his actual name, though that bio photo real) is a novelist and journalist who lives and works in Philadelphia. He's written for the L. A. Times, USA Today, Christian Science Monitor, and Reuters. Franklin's 1996 novel - about a wire service editor who uses product tampering as a strategy to take down the U.S. tobacco industry as his way of saying thanks for the emphysema and Stage Three lung cancer - created international controversy, triggered an FBI investigation, received critical acclaim, and sold about 4,000 copies. He's been sober for 17 years.
