BY STACI WILSON<\/strong><\/p>\n

While a young man living in the Montrose area, Tim Ogline\u2019s love of history was stoked by the great amount of time he spent in the Susquehanna County Library and Historical Society, as well as several influential history teachers at Montrose High School.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy imagination was fired and it became something that I\u2019ve always been passionate about,\u201d Ogline said.<\/p>\n

That passion has taken over the better part of the past decade for the 1986 graduate, as the Philadelphia area graphic illustrator has embarked on several book projects \u2013 all about one man \u2013 Benjamin Franklin.<\/p>\n

Ogline has two complete bookshelves dedicated to works on Franklin \u2013 providing some of the research information needed for him to complete \u201cBen Franklin for Beginners,\u201d a young adult oriented biography that discusses Franklin\u2019s life and achievements in topic oriented chapters that were also illustrated by Ogline.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing local to Philadelphia \u2013 which is, of course, Benjamin Franklin\u2019s hometown- I have access to historic places and museums such as Franklin Court, the Franklin Institute and the Independence National Park; so I\u2019ve spent a great deal of time looking at exhibitions that document Franklin\u2019s life,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ogline said he was most surprised at the preconceptions he had about the Founding Father as a \u201cgarrulous old man with a twinkle in his eye.\u201d
\n\u201cI never thought of someone who might be motivated by pride and anger,\u201d Ogline said.<\/p>\n

It was a public dressing down before the Privy Council in London in 1774 that propelled Franklin into the revolutionary movement.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had been publicly humiliated and was then stripped of his post,\u201d Ogline said. \u201cBenjamin Franklin turned from a loyal British subject into an American. It doesn\u2019t seem to be a slow evolution in political philosophy that occurred in Franklin, but a seismic shift. In the end, it was anger that ignited his Revolutionary zeal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBen Franklin for Beginners\u201d was released Oct. 1, but he exhibited the book in September at the Baltimore Comic-Con. Since its release, Ogline has attended several book signings in the Philadelphia and New Jersey area, as well as making an appearance at the New York Comic-Con in his publisher\u2019s booth.<\/p>\n

He said he has been happy with the reception the book has received from parents and educators.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy whole intent is to make history accessible and entertaining, and I hope that as more people are exposed to the book that they\u2019ll feel it achieves that goal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In addition to \u201cBen Franklin for Beginners,\u201d Ogline is also nearly finished with a graphic novel adaptation of \u201cThe Way to Wealth.\u201d Other book projects in the development also include a historical fiction graphic novel and an alphabet book \u2013 all based on Franklin.<\/p>\n

In addition to writing and illustrating works on Franklin, Ogline lives in Marlton, N.J., with his wife, Candace, and nearly three-year-old son, Phillip. His parents live in the Hallstead area and his sister and her family live in Great Bend.<\/p>\n

\u201cBen Franklin for Beginners\u201d is distributed by Random House, it can be ordered in any book store and is also available online from Barnes * Noble, Amazon, Book-a-Million, Powell\u2019s, Target and Wal-mart, among others.<\/p>\n
