He has published an original play based on Louisiana's Governor “Uncle” Earl Long, and co-authored a theater textbook, a travel book and a history of the New Orleans Fire Department.
George resides in the New Orleans area with his family. He currently writes and produces a monthly cable television law enforcement program and promises new Jeff Chaussier adventures in the coming months.

A Novel of New Orleans, 1963
Looking for Tennessee Williams
New Orleans, Louisiana, an Old World city on the shores of the New, where the young and the beautiful are menaced by the old and misshapen.
November, 1963, a time when new winds shake old trees in a contest to see who prevails. The actors of “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” have come to perform at the Tennessee Williams College Theatre Festival where they meet people, places, vices, virtues, and in so doing, themselves.

Reviews for Looking for Tennessee Williams
“Sanchez’s story is adept at setting up relationships that are fraught with conflict…Along with the interplay of such characters is the city itself. As much as the tale is about knotty relationships, it is also a long enticing love letter to New Orleans… These details all come together to form an image of a place as complex and unique as the people who call it home.”
