• One Night Stands Strong
  "As Scott&Scott, the real-life lovers who created Romentics gay romance novels, we are often asked if our relationship is the basis for our books. Usually it's just inspiration for our heroes and their not-so-straight path to true love. However, for our first Amazon short we finally decided to put our own story into print. You asked for it! “One Night Stands Strong” is a true-ish, fabulized tale of the night we met and the following nights that made us much more than a one-night." Scott Pomfret and Scott Whittier

• Curveball
  This short story derives from my experience as a member of a Catholic parish in Boston during the height of the priest abuse scandal. I imagined what it would be like for a regular guy named Chuck (who happened to be one of the abused former altar boys) to be confronted with a saint-like gay lay minister preaching to him from the pulpit-immediately after the Red Sox had proved that modern miracles were possible by winning the World Series.

• Since My Last Confession: A Gay Catholic Memoir (2008)
  Since My Last Confession is a funny, irreverent faith journey by a gay Catholic pursuing his Archbishop in the style of Michael Moore's Roger & Me that answers the perennial question, "What's a Nice Gay Catholic Part-time Porn Writer Doing in a Nasty Church Like This?" Scott Pomfret, a practicing Catholic in a long-term committed gay relationship with a hardcore atheist, tries to reconcile his faith with the Catholic hierarchy's bitter attacks on gay marriage, gay adoption, gay seminarians, Capri pants, innate style, and anything else remotely homosexual. Convinced that a meeting with the Archbishop would foster homo-Catholic rapprochement and world peace, Pomfret pursues the prelate from pulpit to Chancery to state funeral -- and runs into a host of motorcycle lesbians, gay priests, flaming friars, pious prelates, would-be Opus Dei monks, dozens of Irish women named Mary, and angry orthodox bloggers along the way. Addressing topics ranging from a firsthand account of a 1970s SWAT team raid of a gay Mass to "Ten Ways to Recognize a Gay Catholic" to Harry Potter's Satanism, Confession is one man's personal experience of wrestling with faith, doubt, sex, love, and priestly undergarments.

• Surf 'N' Turf (2006) --  Finalist, 2006 Lambda Literary Award for Romance (Gay Male)
  Who knew the surf of Seaside was the turf of gay gangs? When Southern-boy Blakely and bookstore-owner Robert each escape to the gay resort town for the summer, they find themselves amongst the Queenies and the Meanies-gangs who rule Seaside with a bitchy limp wrist and a leather-clad fist. Once the gangs set their sights on the two newcomers, they'll do anything to keep the men from setting their hearts on each other. Through both tragedy and comedy, these modern-day star-crossed lovers get ready to rumble for true love.

• Hot Sauce (2005)
  A sizzling hot literary concoction of love, passion, drama, and the importance of trusting one's heart from two talented new voices in fiction. Brad Drake has come a long way from tiny Durgin City, Iowa. In his late 20s, he's a respected celebrity chef with a great apartment, a bustling social life, and a wonderful relationship with Troy Boston, a hip fashion designer and boutique owner. But Brad's world is suddenly shattered when a figure from Troy's past, the flamboyant Aria Shakespeare, shows up with damning evidence of Troy's infidelities. As spicy as a Bloody Mary with extra Tabasco, this tale of relationships, lies, and trust will keep readers enthralled-and frantic-until its final surprising pages.

• Nothing Personal (2005)
  The gay marriage ban is nothing personal, unless you're a Cuban-American gay man in the heart of red-state America. Carlo Batista takes on longtime conservative Tall Tony Scipione in a race for state representative. And he takes on mystery man Brian Gallagher in the race for his heart. Breaking all the rules of polite society, Carlo proves that love, sex, politics, and religion do mix -- with hilarious and heart-warming results.

• Spare Parts (2005)
  Dan is a mechanic with a chain of successful garages and a lonely life. Trent is a recent grad, a struggling photographer with an empty wallet and bills to pay. But an old enemy is trying to ruin Dan's business. Trent is posing as a prostitute. And a secret from their past could destroy everything. Is it fate or bad luck that brings them together one dark night? And can they build a life out of all these spare parts?

• Nick of Time (2004)
  Nick is a savagely handsome stonemason who has given up on gay men and has agreed to marry an Irishwoman who needs him for a green card. Brent is dancer from the city in town for his sister's wedding. To Nick, Brent's a bitchy slut who would think nothing of breaking his heart. To Brent, Nick's just another dumb strong closet case stuck a thousand miles from the city beat. But when opposites attract, who is going to tell the Irishwoman that her time is up?

• Razor Burn (2003)
  Blayne is strictly business-a stuffed shirt working for his father's company to develop the next men's razor. Ben is out of work and out looking for a good time. He's trying to forget his troubles and get over a past he can't even remember. When they meet in a coffee shop one afternoon, Ben gets a lot more than a job. And when they start working together, nothing can keep them apart-not amnesia, not secrets, not Blayne's father, not even Blayne's wife!
