Max Yoho's first language is Kansan. While he writes and speaks some American, he admits he is not fluent in it. If asked for his recipe for a good, full life, Yoho is likely to tell you “Get the bob-waar over the crick before midnight.”

Yoho's first novel, The Revival, dealt with life as seen by a boy.

In Tales from Comanche County, an old man with a hilariously skewed education in history and religion looks back to summers spent listening to stories told on the front porch of his Uncle Jack's Comanche County, Kansas ranch.

Cattle rustler Leepy Danfer lies amoldering in his grave. The Emperor of China has come to grief. A soft-shell Oklahoman met his maker while riding a unicycle. Why? Yoho will tell you “They just plain didn't get their dad-gum bob-waar over the crick before midnight.”

Yoho's work, Felicia, These Fish Are Delicious, is a collection of his poetry, essays and short stories.

His third novel is The Moon Butter Route.
