Sam Armitage is the creator of the Jet O'Connor mythos. His short story collection Jet, which is also a roman a clef based on London media fandom of its day, was published in 1979 by Barbara Kitson. The zine is now available by download from the British Library.

He has also written short stories for anthology zines, including Jay Felton's Heroes and Partners as S. Armitage, and Horizon (Blake's 7 fiction anthology) as C. S. Armitage.

Sam is also Soren Nyrond, co-creator with Jonathan Waite of the Nyrond narrative cosmos and inspiration, if not co-author, of anthemic filk Sam's Song. The Far Isles Mediaeval Society knows him as Samuel, Baron Buckland, formerly hedge-lawyer Samuel Sanskin.
