EDITOR@WORK: book writer

FOUND IN A NOVEL: For one whom claims to be under siege, he seems blithely unconcerned about the potential danger he may well be in.

Maybe it's just me, but who seems necessary here, not whom.

For one who claims to be under siege, he seems blithely unconcerned about the potential danger he may well be in.

Yeah, that sounds right to me.

Found in a novel: Tucked in a hillside in Portugee Gulch, I was impressed by the size of the place.

It sounds like the book's narrator was tucked in the hillside. Let's try again:

I was impressed by the size of the place, which was tucked in a hillside in Portugee Gulch.

I added "which was" and lengthened the sentence, but it makes more sense this way.
