Biography

Personal life

Born Mary Rebecca Wadsworth on March 4, 1955, in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States, to a large family, Brandewyne grew up in Kansas. She has a sister. She married Gary Brock, and had a son. After divorcing she married again, to John Cox, from whom she is also now divorced.

In August 2006, a Kansas trial court ordered self-publishing company AuthorHouse to pay $240,000 in punitive damage as well as $230,000 in actual damage to Brandewyne and her parents for publishing a book by her ex-husband that was "harmful" and libelous of them. AuthorHouse was also ordered to pay $20,000 each to Brandewyne's parents for the damage. Although the court acknowledged that AuthorHouse employed a business model that placed a degree of responsibility for the content of works upon the authors, in this case it found that AuthorHouse had failed to act when it was informed that the book might include libelous content.

Brandewyne has a Bachelors in Journalism, with minors in history and music, and a Masters in Communication.
