About How To Win a Million Dollars and BEEP Glitter!
Amazon #1 Best Seller:
What if the American Dream was just a glitter-fueled lie? Soaked in pop culture and bad decisions, this Queer Millennial Odyssey is part confessional, part caper. It’s a story woven into the fabric of a generation that voted reality TV into the White House and made grift a national pastime. The journey is outrageous, hilarious, and, at times, deeply self-aware.
Inked in glitter pen and promise, this Lisa Frank–inspired, late-stage capitalist fever dream is told through the eyes of an eight-year-old boy who believed every lie Ronald Reagan ever sold him—an unhinged adventure for anyone who’s ever chased something wild in a world that never made space for them. It’s not a pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps kind of story—we were all sold a sugar-coated lie: work hard, play by the rules, and success will fall into your lap. “Personally,” he retorts, “I’ve found I’m more prosperous when I lie, cheat, and steal.” This prankish take on the American Dream might just keep you turning the pages.
With the charm of a rogue and the morals of a raccoon, our antihero drags readers through scams, schemes, and self-sabotage—from backyard cons to a cutting-edge experiment with AI. You see, we’ve all been caught up in that chase: more money, more status, more validation. And I’m no different…
“But he is different, because he dared live an unlikely life in a society that punishes those who try it.” —Publishers Weekly
In the end, one question remains:
In a game that is rigged for the rich, can you beat the system—or will it beat you?

Luke Stoffel (b. 1978) grew up as a gay Catholic schoolboy in small-town Iowa, where his imagination stretched far beyond the cornfields.

Stoffel is the author of several books, including The Easy Bake Unicorn Cookbook, The Art of Tarot, and his debut memoir How to Win a Million Dollars and BEEP Glitter!, with a follow-up, In Over Your Head, set for release in 2026. His ongoing photography series, The Noble Path, reflects his travels across 40+ countries, a journey sparked by the creative revelation of stepping off a plane in Thailand and discovering a world beyond the confines of Christ.
