Consider this, Jim has never attempted self-publishing so why should his sister necessarily write about it. It's in neither of their spheres of expertise. And as to "uses her close relationship to best selling Jim as leverage" that's pure hokum, IMHO.

Ah yes, thank you. She is probably damn proud of him and should be. He beat the odds not by complaining, but by trying harder. And she probably also seen the complications involved, and accusations of Jim beeing handed something for free. I may have misread as biased, instead of only speaking from experience and knowledge she has.

I apologize for not knowing the classics well enough. The wiki does say:

The Cheshire Cat is a fictional cat popularised by Lewis Carroll in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and known for its distinctive mischievous grin.
Maybe that is all there is to it, and no other meaning implied by you.
