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.
I went in thinking I’d just read a few pages, and ended up finishing it in one sitting. Something about the way the characters felt so familiar made the whole story hit deeper than I expected.
It didn’t feel like reading a book, it felt like hearing someone quietly tell you something they’ve never said out loud before. I found myself going back just to sit with certain lines a little longer.
The fear in this story creeps up slowly, but the heartbreak comes fast. It’s stayed with me in a way that most books don’t, like I left a part of myself in those pages.
R.M. Edenburn is a Michigan-based author who blends haunting suspense with heartfelt storytelling, drawing from a lifelong love of horror and an unexpected romance influence.
