A [[BattleTech]] fan since the early 90s, '''Philip A. Lee''' was already an experienced fiction author when he joined an informal [[BattleCorps]] author group in 2010 with the aim of writing for BattleTech. His inaugural BattleTech story, ''[[A Wolf in the Eyrie]]'', was published in early 2011. In 2012 he became Assistant Editor to BattleCorps's Managing Editor [[Jason Schmetzer]] (a position he retained until BattleCorps went offline in 2017), and eventually worked with [[CGL]] on BattleTech sourcebooks and novellas.

Besides BattleTech, he has been writing for [[Shadowrun]], [[Cosmic Patrol]], and [[The Valiant Universe RPG]], among others.

==Clan stories==
As a BattleTech writer, Philip A. Lee has a particular interest in the [[Clans]], their society, history, and Homeworlds. Consequently, he endeavored to write a BattleCorps short story centering on each Clan and their individual peculiarities:

* ''[[A Wolf in the Eyrie]]'' (2011) - The pragmatic mindset of a [[bondsman]] from [[Clan Wolf]] causes tension among [[Clan Jade Falcon]] warriors
* ''[[Half of a Warrior]]'' (2011) - A [[Clan Snow Raven]] [[aerospace fighter]] pilot's encounter with the [[Bandit Caste]]
* ''[[Seeds of Loyalty]]'' (2011) - A [[Clan Cloud Cobra]] warrior teaches a bondsman from [[Clan Coyote]] the Cloud Cobra ways
* ''[[Whispering Death]]'' (2011) - The unusual path taken by a [[Clan Nova Cat]] warrior to take revenge on an abusive superior officer
* ''[[Fragments of History]]'' (2011) - A [[Seeker (Clan Goliath Scorpion)|Seeker]] from [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] has quite a story to tell...
* ''[[A Living Epitaph]]'' (2012) - When a [[Clan Hell's Horses]] ''[[sibko]]'' is subjected to a Trial of Reaving, the young cadets resolve to fight for their lives rather than be culled as chattel
* ''[[Double Down]]'' (2012) - [[Clan Jade Falcon]] faces stubborn resistance on [[Blackjack (planet)|Blackjack]]
* ''[[Quail Hunting]]'' (2013) - [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] warriors tend to be lone wolves looking for individual glory
* ''[[A Keystone Arch]]'' (2013) - The divided [[Clan Fire Mandrill]] is its own worst enemy in the REVIVAL Trials
* ''[[Seven Years' Bad Luck]]'' (2014) - A pair of [[trueborn]] monozygotic twins from [[Clan Steel Viper]] face their Clan's unique "molting" ritual to become warriors, a crucible that will affect their lives like nothing before or after
