Into every life a little deception must fall. With honesty, compassion and a delightful sense of humor, Beverly Olevin creates page-turning fiction.  Lies and indiscretions are a matter of degree in this collection of short stories which slides across the border between charming Thuberesque tales and deeply moving stories with bruising impact. The whimsy and innocence of "Following Bennie" and the title story, "Little Lies and Serious Indiscretions," are elevated by a sweet introspection that gives them surprising emotional impact. "The Gypsy Moon" brings myth and magical story telling to life, while "Charlotte Corday" and "Neat as Pin" provide taut journeys into the humorous side of revenge.   Beverly Olevin is the author of "The Good Side of Bad," which was selected by KIRKUS Discoveries as the Best Fiction of 2010.   "Olevin inhabits her characters with an artists touch."   KIRKUS Reviews  “This delightful collection of short stories reminds me why Beverly has always been a perennial favorite.”    Sandra Tsing Loh, Author of Mother on Fire
