David Mark Quigley is a best-selling author and wildlife conservation advocate. Born in New Zealand and now living in Naples, Florida, David’s life has been shaped by adventure, resilience, and a lifelong obsession with animals and the natural world. Before becoming an author, his varied path included working as a farmer, vineyard owner, clinical hypnotherapist, sculptor, and serial entrepreneur—experiences that deeply inform both his fiction and non-fiction work.

David’s journey as a writer began as a way to confront severe dyslexia. What started as a personal challenge unexpectedly uncovered a powerful creative voice. His debut novel, Scars of the Leopard, ignited a passion for storytelling that led to a gripping series of action-adventure novels rooted in real-world conservation issues. His best-selling African Series includes Scars of the Leopard, The Last Rhino, White Gold, African Lion, and The Last Scales. These novels are celebrated for their intensity, authenticity, and rich detail, drawing heavily from David’s firsthand adventures across Europe, Australia, and Africa.

Deeply committed to wildlife conservation, David ensures that his fiction has tangible impact beyond the page. A percentage of all book sales is donated through the Quigley Wildlife Foundation, supporting wildlife protection and conservation initiatives. By purchasing his novels, readers become direct contributors to the preservation of endangered species and threatened ecosystems.

David lives in Naples, Florida, with his wife and numerous furry freeloaders, in a home he built in his spare time—continuing a life defined by creation, conservation, and purposeful action.
