Thanks for coming to my site. I'm a Boston-based fiction and non-fiction writer. I specialize in Great-American-Gay-Catholic-Irish-New-England romantic writing. My latest book is "Since My Last Confession," a love-hate, reverent-irreverent Michael-Moore-style memoir on the contemporary Catholic experience. Reviews and other info can be found here.
Here's an excerpt from the Publishers' Weekly review of Fresh Men: New Gay Voices: "The best discoveries include Scott Pomfret's 'Chicken,' a moving portrait of the tense intimacy between an aging gay man and a teenage hitchhiker with 'runaway eyes.'" The Lambda Book Report had this to say in its review of "Fresh Men": "'Chicken,' by Scott D. Pomfret, is an excellent example of where Fresh Men succeeds in offering a truly brilliant new take on an exhausted theme. An older man is drawn in by a younger man. A boy, really. A beautiful 15-year-old boy on the side of a rural road that should have been bypassed. The man shouldn’t stop but he does. The boy shouldn’t get in but he does. You don’t want what you think is going to happen to actually happen but not enough to stop turning the pages. It is a disturbing, well-paced trek into an adolescent forest where old growth takes, not gives, light. Every paragraph brings a cringe, but are you wincing because of a crime or because you understand? Excellent." You can buy Fresh Men and other books I have written or anthologies to which I have contributed by clicking on Scott's Books.
