Falling Angels: Cuentos y Poemas (out of print) is a hybrid-genre collection written in a mix of English, Spanglish, and Spanish. The book was published in 2008 as a collaborative project between two small independent presses, Calaca Press and Chibcha Press. Cover art and sketches within the book are by Ricardo Islas.
"As in the story, 'Con el nopal en la frente,' which emerges firmly-rooted and in full bloom in the body of her character, each of Olga's cuentos stands out in bold testimony to our America. These are puro Chicano stories, tales of urban survival drawn from its most vulnerable and visionary inhabitants...These are stories meant to be read aloud to yourself and to your children for Olga's characters speak in a voice that finds its origins in 'a long line of eloquent illiterates' as Chicana poet Lorna Dee Cervantes has written."
"Olga is a talented weaver of stories and a gifted and passionate poet. Her cuentos and poems are savory and original, gritty and poignant. The women and men in these pages make us think, laugh, and feel proud; they are conocidos speaking in real speak. Without a doubt, this unique collection establishes Olga as a lengualistic code-switching queen!"
