On January 6, 2026, bestselling and award-winning author Nancy Hicks Marshall will hold a press conference on the Plaza outside the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Auditorium in Phoenix, Arizona, to launch her new book, 'Six Who Stopped The Steal.' The event marks a call to restore respect for the integrity of elected officials who follow their conscience and the law. Marshall and invited speakers, including Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, former Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, and current Maricopa County Board of Supervisors member Steven Gallardo, will describe how the election process works and why Americans should recommit to supporting the ever-improving institution of elections in the United States constitutional democracy.
The book, available in ebook format for $0.99 through January 6, 2026, on Amazon.com, tells the extraordinary true account of six men in Maricopa County, Arizona—the fifth largest county in the United States and a critical swing state—who stood up for the Constitution, the law, and their integrity during the tumultuous aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. On November 3, 2020, one of the best-run, most heavily scrutinized elections in U.S. history delivered a victory for Joe Biden over then-President Donald Trump. Independent audits verified the valid results. Yet Trump and his allies decried the process and called for action to 'Stop the Steal.' On November 20, 2020, five men certified the valid election results, and others in the Arizona House and Senate prevented an illegal reversal.
Marshall, a multiple award-winning author, was uniquely placed to bring this story to light. In 2009, she defended one of four activists unconstitutionally arrested in the same auditorium, leading to her novel 'A Dry Hate,' which won first prize for fiction at state and national levels. Shocked by the treatment of these six men (only one Democrat) by their fellow Republicans, Marshall set out to learn the inside story. The book begins with each man describing, in his own words, what events caused them to seek integrity as adults and public servants. Marshall then explores the 'monsters' that may cause people to reject undeniable evidence, and she provides a clear, understandable description of the sophisticated election process.
The book has received early endorsements praising the author and the men as true heroes. Readers have called it 'a testament to honesty,' a 'fascinating portrayal of these courageous men,' and 'true patriots.' Marshall has been able to 'showcase the elaborate steps of our election process that prevent fraud' and has written 'a riveting book based on extensive research' that will be 'a valuable resource to students, historians, and psychologists for years to come.' Marshall also cites other books for understanding the times, including 'The God of Monkey Science,' 'The Big Truth,' and 'The Emperor's New Clothes.'
Marshall is available for media interviews at truthtopower2026@gmail.com, and more information is available at her website, NuggetPress.com. She is also the author of several award-winning books, including 'The Rattler's Tale,' 'A Dry Hate,' and 'Finding Zachariah in a Community Garden.'
