NUNS AND CLOWNS – A Nonfiction Novel by J Alan Konecny

Prologue of Truth

Truth wears a mask. So do the criminals who fear it.

This is a true story. Every word of it. And they tried to silence every one of those words for over two decades.

Nuns and Clowns is a non-fiction conflict journal dressed in irony. It’s not just about exposing corporate corruption—it’s about surviving it. It’s about what happens when you tell the truth in a country that only pretends to reward honesty. It’s about whistleblowers and anyone else the system tried to chew up for daring to hold it accountable.

I helped destroy billion-dollar corporations—not out of ambition, but because I saw what they were doing, and someone had to say something. I exposed the financial fraud that brought down Fleming Companies, K-Mart Corporation, and Zale Corporation. In return, I lost my career, my family, my home, and my name. The cost of the truth was everything.

This book is not about redemption. It’s about resistance. The clown is the only one honest about wearing a mask.

In my world, masks are everywhere—boardrooms, courtrooms, political backrooms. This book rips those masks off. One chapter at a time.

This Book Stands Against:

– Corporate fraud disguised as innovation

– Judicial corruption masked as procedure

– Political collusion cloaked in campaign donations

– Systemic cruelty hidden behind bureaucratic indifference

– The erasure of truth-tellers through legal, financial, and social warfare

This Book Stands For:

– Telling the truth, no matter the cost

– Standing alone if you have to

– Naming names

– Laughing at absurdity while holding the receipts

– Fighting for the people the system discards

This isn’t just my story. It’s the story of anyone who’s ever whispered, “This isn’t right,” and been destroyed for it.

They came after me with everything they had. And I’m still writing.

Nuns and Clowns is coming. They’ll wish it wasn’t.
