Fire And Fame is a memoir co-written by Joerg Deisinger, former bassist and founding member of the German hard rock band Bonfire, and Carl Begai, a Canadian writer and music journalist.

The project was inspired by Deisinger's near death experience on 26 December 2004, when he narrowly missed being killed by the tsunami that ripped through Southeast Asia and decimated parts of Thailand.

A last minute change of plans for a scheduled vacation while living in Thailand saved him, resulting in weeks and months of reflection, and the final decision to write his memoirs.

Over a two-year period the pair got together as schedules allowed, with Deisinger dictating the text to Begai in German, who would then translate, arrange and trim the story in English, adding facts and information when necessary.

The writing for the project, eventually dubbed Fire And Fame Archived 20 November 2008 at the Wayback Machine by Begai, wrapped up in late 2007 and was released independently in cooperation with Books On Demand GmbH in August 2008.
