I hope you've had a spectacular month. Mine has been busy, which is good, and productive, which is very good. Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and I'll tell you all about it.

What Jude's up to:

The very first thing I want to do is apologize to anyone who receives this newsletter if they didn’t request it. Yahoo did a number on my lists and I’ve tried to put them back together as best I could, but I’m sure I’ve included people who didn’t want to be here. Please accept my apology and simply send me an email letting me know you’d like to be removed. I’ll do so immediately and I thank all of you for your patience.

As you no doubt see, I’ve moved my list over to Gmail. I’ve been with Gmail for years and never had a problem, so decided to move EVERYTHING over. New address, new digs (please say you like the décor, or offer some help in color coordinating things) and let’s hope all goes well from here on in. HUGS!!

Okay, onward and upward! I’ve had a very good month. Yay I’m feeling awesome, dieting sucks royally, but I’m getting into clothes that I haven’t worn in a very, very long time. No, I’m not going to tell you how long. LOL! Trust me, though, I’m talking decades, so I’m incredibly out of style, but I honestly couldn’t care less. I’ve never been a fashionista so why would I begin now? I did have some dental issues, shaking head at toothy issues, but I’m getting those sorted out soon.

My writing is coming back and I’ve got a contract for the first book in a solo series I’ve been trying to work on for months. Daybreak 2525: Doc, will be published sometime in the New Year. Also, Jenna Byrnes and I have a book coming up for you fans of our paranormal series, Kindred Spirits and we’re working on yet another. I’ll tell you more about those in the coming soon part of the newsie.

So, we’re to my animal family. 4 fawns!! Yup, we’ve got 4 lil tykes running around getting into all manner of trouble. The weather is turning cool here, so everyone is scrambling to fatten up, them included, so it’s a little bit crazy here some evenings. Two nights ago, I sat outside watching the world go by when all four fawns showed up, followed by two does, their mom’s. The does weren’t crazy about sharing food, the fawns were a tad jumpy and I felt like some diplomat to an alien species. I finally came in when a fawn nearly leaped into my arms. I figured it’d be my luck to catch the darned thing, have the mom get angry at me for ‘harming’ her offspring, and beat the snot out of me. Sheesh!

I’d just like to remind those of you who would prefer not to receive this newsletter to simply get in touch with me at Jude.Masons.News@gmail.com  and I’ll strike your name from the list.

New Releases:

While Max is away at a two-week business conference, Rob concludes that in order to save their relationship, he needs to make some choices. He surprises Max with a weekend visit and the offer to play a ‘game'. Will the sexy scenarios be enough, or will they merely expose the flaws in their relationship?

Coming Soon

 But he knows rescuing her is not enough. If the poachers are not brought down, the very existence of the were species could be in jeopardy. He hatches a plan in which the hunters become the hunted.

Will they take the bait? And who will be trapped?

Contest Info

Celebrating a new address for my newsletter, I thought I’d come up with what I hope will be a fun contest for you all this month. Let’s try this: In the Untamed Hearts series, Jenna Byrnes and I explored various worlds of changelings. We began with cougars, moved on to bears, went to wolves and finally raced with a horse clan. Which of these did you like best and why? What animal changeling excited you the most?

Please send your replies to: Jude.Masons.News@gmail.com . I’ll announce one winner in the October newsletter and that person will get to choose one e-book from my backlist titles you’ll find here:

Reviews

Lupa of You Gotta Read Reviews had this to say about Finding Home:

I greatly enjoyed this story. Jude Mason has created an enchanting world in Finding Home. He has perfectly captured the troubles of being trapped in two worlds, something that many mixed blood Indians like myself struggle with everyday.

Website updates:

Oh yeah! I’ve done some updating, cleaning up and also added to my backlists as well as stuck in a couple of new covers.
 

 
And there you have it, another month gone and one more newsletter put to bed. I hope you enjoyed learning a bit more about me and the work I love so much. Take care and be well, and I’ll see you again next month.

Hugs
Jude
