Head was born in Detroit, Michigan. She attended Wayne State University, intending to focus on pre-law, but was "bitten by the media bug" and shifted to Media and Communications, receiving a B.A. Head worked at television stations: WDIV and Detroit Public Television (WTVS), and public radio station WDET. She received a master's degree in telecommunications management at Ohio University. She moved to Washington, D.C., in the 1990s to work in public broadcasting. After working as a TV and radio field reporter, anchor, production executive, media grantmaker at several organizations in Detroit and Washington, D.C., Head retired early to focus on a writing career. Head is a member of the Bouchercon (World Mystery Conference) and is the 2024-2025 Board Chair. [3] Head is also a member of Sisters in Crime; and Mystery Writers of America.

Head's work includes: The six-part Charlie Mack Motown Series, a World War II historical novel, and an historical-fiction novel based upon the tragic loss of Head's grandfather who died in 1929, in Birmingham Jim Crow Alabama, at the hands of the police. [4] That book, Time’s Undoing, was a 2023 Indie Next pick, an Amazon Best Book of March, and Amazon Editors Pick for Best Mystery, Thriller, and Suspense. [5]
