R. M. Whitcomb writes contemporary literary fiction about family, memory, and complicated relationships.

Whitcomb is drawn to character-driven stories about how people can remember the same relationship differently and how small misunderstandings can grow over time.

The Space Between Their Names is a work of fiction inspired by sisterhood and the pain of loving someone you no longer fully understand.

When not writing, Whitcomb is usually jotting down ideas or forgetting about a cup of coffee until it goes cold.
