We are reaching out with a straightforward request for your collection: please consider ordering CHASING THE HIGH for your public library shelves.
This is a hybrid biography; a powerful blend of cinematic third-person narrative and raw first-person reflection that follows a boy raised in chaos and hardship who refused to become the life he was handed.
Richard T. Sanchez grew up with an incarcerated father and a mother trapped in addiction and prostitution, surrounded by instability that can define a child for life. But instead of repeating the cycle, he fought his way out; first into law enforcement, and ultimately into federal service where he became a highly decorated DEA Special Agent working the front lines of a drug war that evolved into a far more organized, militarized, and violent fight than most Americans ever see.
CHASING THE HIGH isn’t just about criminals, cases, or operations. It’s about the internal war behind the badge: identity, leadership, faith, trauma, resilience, and what happens when the adrenaline fades and the real battle begins; learning how to stop chasing the high.

Book Description:
Chasing the High is a hybrid biography that traces the extraordinary life of Richard T. Sanchez from a childhood marked by addiction, instability, and the shadow of a father behind bars, to a career on the front lines of the modern drug war as a Texas lawman and federal agent. Told through a gripping blend of cinematic third-person storytelling and Richard’s own brutally honest first-person reflections, the book reveals the inner battles behind the badge, the ghosts that never stopped following him, and the unlikely path that led him out of the life he was born into and into the life he was never supposed to have. As cartels evolved into militarized empires and violence seeped across borders, Sanchez found himself confronting not only the criminals in front of him, but the boy he used to be. Deeply human and unforgettable, this is a story of survival, identity, leadership, faith, and the hard-won peace that comes after the adrenaline fades.
