Born in 1934 in Colony, Kansas, Max grew up in small towns. Moving with his family to Atchison at age 10, he soon learned that delights and adventures along the Missouri River awaited just outside the well-oiled hinges of his bedroom window screen.
   Max graduated from Topeka High School and attended Washburn University in Topeka, where he was a feature writer for The Washburn Review.
   A former milk delivery boy himself, after a thirty-eight year career as a machinist Max retired in 1992 to begin a new career as a writer. His first novel, The Revival, won the J. Donald Coffin Memorial Award of the Kansas Authors Club in 2002 — as did The Moon Butter Route in 2007.
    Felicia, These Fish Are Delicious, his collection of poems, essays and short stories, was nominated for this same award in 2005.
    Tales from Comanche County are tall stories told on the front porch of a hard scrabble ranch in Comanche County, Kansas.
    Yoho's novel The Moon Butter Route was chosen among Kansas Center for the Book's "2006 Notable Books."
    Both The Revival and The Moon Butter Route were voted among "Kansas Favorite Books." Other books on this list of all-time favorites included Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, Robert Day's The Last Cattle Drive, and Frank L. Baum's The Wizard of Oz.
    The Revival and Tales from Comanche County are also available as unabridged audiobooks from Books In Motion of Spokane, Washington.
