R.M. Edenburn grew up in Flint, Michigan, where a love for eerie stories took root early. Horror has always been his genre of choice, the kind that doesn’t just scare you but sticks with you long after. But life, as it tends to, surprised him. Somewhere between raising four kids and swapping book stacks with his wife (a devoted romance reader), he found himself unexpectedly drawn to love stories. Not the picture-perfect kind, but the ones tangled in fear, memory, and the things we carry with us.

That blend of love and dread came to life in It Won’t Last Forever, the first novel in his debut series, The Forever Novels. It’s a story born from contrast, emotional yet unsettling, tender but laced with shadows. Edenburn writes for readers who crave both heart and tension, who want characters that feel real and stories that leave a mark. Whether it’s grief, loyalty, or the ghosts of our past, he leans into the truth behind the fiction. And if this book is any sign of what’s to come, the journey is just getting started.
