The writer was born on July 21, 1984 in New York. About her children's years, little is known, except that the girl adored reading. Sam's parents Henry Cass and Marcia Bloom supported daughter's passion. It is known that Cass has a brother - Petit Cass.
Love Morgan to the genre of science fiction manifested pretty early. The girl recalls how in the 6th grade she shocked her book presentation of a classmate: at the school lesson, the boy was alive and fascinating about the new read book - the scientific fiction novel of Orson Scott Carda "The game of Ender".
The rapid imagination of the girl immediately painted exciting cosmic landscapes and phantasmagoric heroes.

Continuing reading the books of this genre, increasingly surprised:
"How could she earlier live without this incredible, fantastic world filled with spacecraft and alien creatures? After all, it is so exciting - to represent that the land is waiting in the future, invent different scenarios of development. "It would seem that the teenage passion for scientific fiction should have been dried as agreed. But Kass retained the love of this genre even after graduated from college and became the owner of a diploma in the direction of "English and literature", although by that time was already vividly interested in the British Regency's Epoch literature (1811-1820).
