from "Tim Jones-Yelvington is a Pretty Little Liar"
My lovelies, I haven't forgotten your secrets. Everything each of you told me in confidence. You said, Promise you'll keep this to yourself. You said, Promise you'll never tell a soul. You said, If anyone finds out, my life is over! I said, I'll take it to the grave. Once, I came upon our frienemy in the marketplace. I said, I know what you've been up to! Don't pretend your hemline's clean! And she begged me, Keep your voice down! Don't make me do something we'll both regret. This is the new new me. Black feathered collar, black feathered cuffs, gold-threaded jacket, my shoulder plumage spills. I am a peacock. My chin is cocked. I am a libertine. I am a dandy. I am an emu, ready to stretch my neck. To sharpen my beak.

About the Author
Reviews
"If Edgar Allan Poe and Dennis Cooper had a child who wrote fanfiction about boy bands, teen dramas, and memes, they'd write something like Don't Make Me Do Something We'll Both Regret. Subversive, outrageous, and smart--Tim Jones-Yelvington is one of the most exciting writers working today." --Eric Nguyen, author of Things We Lost to the Water
"This book is a confrontation. It makes direct eye contact and then there's no looking away. I laughed so much, with joy and wonder and fear. God, I loved every bit of it." --Jac Jemc, author of Total Work of Art and False Bingo
"This collection is as uncategorizable as the forms of queer evil that haunt it. Apocrypha for teen pop stars, meet cutes for phantoms-next-door, desires that once uttered, reshape the world: Don't Make Me Do Something We'll Both Regret is a glitter ball only Tim Jones-Yelvington can spin. The voice of this book will never leave you." --Daniel Allen Cox, author of Mouthquake
