FAMED WRITER ESCAPES MALIBU FIRES

Celebrity-writer MARK BEGO, currently working on a new book on ELVIS PRESLEY, with one of the 'Memphis Mafia'- LAMAR FIKE (called ON ELVIS PRESLEY BOULEVARD: AN UNCOMMON JOURNEY) had Thanksgiving in Malibu and five hours later grabbed his manuscript, notes, and laptop and fled the area, as the wildfires fueled by the Santa Ana winds engulfed the area... fires which ended up destroying the home next to his, musician Flea's home."It was one of the scariest things I've ever encountered. One minute we're eating, washing the dishes, and then grabbing what we could and leaving. It's a tragic footnote to a great day." Bego's home was ultimately spared.
