I am writing a book that is heavy in photographs.

Lately, when I opened up the book to continue writing it, Publisher had lost a few connections to the photos.

Why this happens I have no idea as the photo is, I assume, pasted into the page.

Tonight, when I opened the book to continue working on it, it lost connections for about 15 photos and another 6 or 7 had masks applied to them

Anybody have any idea of why this happens and what the fix is?

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, Carl.

I’m afraid I don’t know the answer to your question, but I wanted to take the opportunity to say that you’re not by any means the only forum member to misunderstand the purpose of the ‘Title’ box which is displayed when you create a thread. Rather than putting your name in there (or, indeed, a title such as ‘Mr’ or ‘Dr’) you should provide a descriptive title for the topic that you’re writing about. You can change the topic title of a thread at any time, as long as the thread was created by you and hasn’t been locked by a moderator: use the ‘Edit’ link at the bottom of your original post to do this.

At the simplest level images can be "embedded" or "linked to" within a Publisher document.

Can you go to Document > Resource Manager and see if your images are showing as Embedded, Linked or a combination of the two?

They were linked.  I answered this before the same way so why is this still open.  While I can understand that links can break, I do not understand why  they happen so often and so widespread.  It seems to me that there is a problem in Publisher that prevents it from maintaining links properly.

This is the first time you have been asked that question, and the first time you have answered it.

Also, as a forum usage hint: You have created a new topic (see below) because you're still having the problem. It would have been better if you had continued in this topic, to keep all the discussion together.
