A native New Zealander, David Mark Quigley worked variously as a farmer, vineyard owner, clinical hypnotherapist, and serial entrepreneur. Travelling extensively chasing adventure across Europe, Australia, and Africa, he has been obsessed with animals and nature ever since. Inspired by his travels, he decided to tackle his dyslexia by writing a book, Scars of the Leopard and unexpectedly discovered his love of writing, and wrote three further action adventures, White Gold, African Lion, and The Last Rhino.

He is a sculptor and produces striking wildlife sculptures cast in silver, alongside running an international environmental consultancy. By purchasing his books you are seamlessly donating to Wildlife Conservation, as a percentage of all book sales are donated via his Non-Profit Foundation. He lives in Naples, Florida, with his wife and numerous furry freeloaders, in a home he built in his spare time.
