Veneda Hackner has released "Which Fitz," a 66-page poetry collection published by Covenant Books that centers on the small, often unnoticed moments of daily life, according to the publisher’s announcement.
The book arrives through Covenant Books, a Christian publishing house based in Charleston, South Carolina, that works across genres aimed at Christian readers. The collection is available in paperback and ebook editions, with an ISBN of 9798897639960, and is being sold through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Apple Books, as well as independent sellers.
According to the announcement, Hackner’s poems draw on personal observation and reflection, built around themes of mindfulness and gratitude. The publisher describes the work as finding what it calls "transformative power" in ordinary instances — a conversation, a glance, a sudden realization — and frames the collection as an invitation for readers to notice what they might otherwise overlook.
In the announcement, Hackner stated: "My hope is that readers find in these poems a mirror to their own experiences, and through that reflection, discover the exceptional hiding within the ordinary."
The publisher positions the collection as accessible to both regular poetry readers and newcomers to the form, pairing plain language with what it describes as genuine emotional weight. Covenant Books’ catalog runs broadly across Christian-market genres, and "Which Fitz" fits within that scope as a devotional-adjacent poetry title rather than a narrative work.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching to see how a collection built on quiet, small-scale subject matter finds its readership in a poetry market that tends to reward either confessional memoir or overtly thematic, issue-driven work.

Three sisters who grew up cooking for cattle crews on their family’s southwest Oklahoma ranch have published a cookbook built from those years in the kitchen. "Grub and Grace: A Ranch Family Cookbook," by Kealey Turner, Kylie McClusky, and Kynlee Waters, is out now through Christian Faith Publishing, running 122 pages.
The three are daughters of Eric and Chy Waters, founders of Waters Cattle Co., and according to the announcement, they learned to cook out of necessity, feeding ranch hands during branding and shipping seasons when the work doesn’t stop for mealtimes. Each sister took on a different part of the project: Kealey, the eldest, focused on baking and home cooking; Kylie, an Oklahoma State graduate who runs two small businesses, handled the photography throughout the book; and Kynlee, the youngest, contributed her background in ranch work and outdoor life.
What separates the book from a standard family cookbook, per the announcement, is its structure: every recipe is paired with Scripture and a short anecdote tied to the dish, built around the family’s faith and daily life on the ranch. The sisters stated they wanted to create something reflecting their family identity, hoping families would use the cookbook to cook together and grow closer to God.
The book is available in paperback and listed online at major retailers including Amazon and Barnes & Noble, alongside the Christian Faith Publishing store.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, what stands out here is the collaboration itself — three sisters each bringing a distinct skill to one project, rather than a single author’s memoir dressed up with recipes. It’s a format worth watching for how well it travels beyond readers already drawn to ranch or faith-based cookbooks.
