K. T. Didd is one of six children born to Ukrainian immigrants in Saint Paul, Minnesota. She attended school in Saint Paul and began writing at the age of twenty. She completed three novels; however, all were stashed away once she married. Now a widow, Didd has resurrected Camelot Connection, in which the lead character, Gwendolyn, suffers from stuttering, a condition Didd herself dealt with during childhood.
