I was thinking today about a funny story Dean Koontz tells about an editor from the east coast who refused to believe that homes in California don't have basements & kept trying to force Dean to change a scene involving a furnace from happening in a garage to a basement until Dean wrote a short story about a furnace big enough to burn up editors. ANYWAY - do you have any funny stories involving stubborn editors?
It made me think of a long argument I had with a sub editor about whether or not Hanway Place joined onto Hanway Street around the back, in the days before Google maps, an argument I won by being the author and the next time I was in London I realized that they had been right and I had been wrong.
Then again, I’ve been in basements in California, so what do I know? (Anyone who writes a basement in New Orleans though needs to be stared at piercingly.)

My follow up question would be; "Did you ever tell the sub-editor that they were right?"

As a California native I can tell you basements are few and far between. You need to find a place to build on bedrock...
