We examine a family of isolated complex surface singularities whose exceptional curves consist of two complex curves with high genera intersecting transversally. Topological data of smoothings of these singularities are determined. We use these computations to construct symplectic 4-manifolds by replacing neighborhoods of the exceptional curves with smoothings of the singularities.

In the article we show that nondieomorphic symplectic 4-manifolds which admit marked Lefschetz fibrations can share the same monodromy group. Explicitly we prove that, for each integer g > 0, every knot surgery 4-manifold in a family {$E(2)_K{\mid}K$ is a bered 2-bridge knot of genus g in $S^3$} admits a marked Lefschetz fibration structure which has the same monodromy group.

As an application of 'reverse engineering' technique introduced by R. Fintushel, D. Park and R. Stern [9], we present a simple way to construct an infinite family of exotic (2n+2l-1)$\mathbb{CP}^2#$(2n+4l-1)$\overline{\mathbb{CP}}^2$'s for all $n\;{\geq}\;0$, $l\;{\geq}\;1$.
