Roxie Yonkey
About
Historic Kansas Roadsides is Roxie Yonkey’s third book about Kansas. She researched the state by driving all the current Kansas byways, plus more roads that should be byways. She planned to write most of the stories in this book, but some were unexpected treasures along the way. The “what is that?” stories are the ones she cherishes the most. Roxie lives in Goodland, Kansas, and writes more on her blog, roxieontheroad.com, and as @roxieontheroad on social media. She’s married to lifelong Kansan Eric Yonkey, and they have an orange Persian cat named Dalbie.
