BEFORE YOU READ ANY FURTHER THE FIRST CHAPTER FOR 'THE LIGHTHOUSE' IS RIGHT AFTER THIS. IF YOU WANT TO SKIP THIS YOU CAN, I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO READ WHAT I HAVE TO SAY, BUT I DO UNDERSTAND.

I also know some of you don't like it when there's an update and it's not a real chapter. I'm sorry about that.

So I am shamelessly promoting my other DC story, 'Scintillate' on here because I know a lot of you read 'The Lighthouse' and I'd love to have more feedback on 'Scintillate'.

Superman needs love too!

(And not from Amy Adams' Lois either! I used to love Amy, but as Lois Lane, I can't stand her so it makes me not like the actress...anybody else this way too?)

The first book takes place during 'Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice' and the second book will take place during 'Justice League'.

Here's the synopsis, cast, a mood board and a small excerpt:

SYNOPSIS:

SET DURING 'BATMAN V SUPERMAN'
AND BEFORE 'JUSTICE LEAGUE'.

"You will give people an ideal to strive towards.
They will race behind you.
They will stumble. They will fall.
But in time, they will join you in the Sun.
In time, you will then accomplish wonders."

When Clark Kent is the blind date that her mother sets her up with, Annie Westmore can't help but wonder how her life can get any better, but an interview with the Man of Steel changes everything. What will she do when Superman shows an interest in her and she's suddenly thrown into a life she wasn't ready for?

CAST:

HENRY CAVILL
AS
CLARK KENT/SUPERMAN

JESSICA CHASTAIN
AS
ANNIE WESTMORE

EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 5:

My TV lit up and I watched as a frantic reporter appeared on the screen. As soon as I had attempted to make my way over to my TV- and by attempted I meant took at least two steps- a man in dark blue and red came crashing through my balcony doors. Glass shattered and sprayed across the room, my mug fell from my hands and the coffee splattered onto the floor and I screamed ducking behind the counter. On my hands and knees, I shuffled towards the edge of the counter and I couldn't believe what I saw.

"Superman?" I gasped.

He was getting to his feet and didn't seem to hear me, but he had fallen on my coffee table and that was now flat and demolished. Damn it. Standing tall he was gigantic and looked powerful. He whisked his cape around as he turned to me. In his hands was my sketchbook and I watched wide-eyed as he smiled down at the sketch I was drawing earlier.

"Nice sketch," He said.

His voice was deep and masculine and had a hint of laughter. He was gorgeous and I couldn't tear my eyes away from his face or the way his body looked in his suit. His smile looked oddly familiar, but I couldn't place his small upturn of lips. I watched him walk over to me and hold out his hand. I took it and stood up. He was tall and I felt so puny next to him. His fingers clasped around my hand and he led me to the mess in the middle of my living room.

"I'm truly sorry about your coffee table. I'll send you a new one, promise. I'd love to help clean up, but I'm kind of in the middle of a battle," He told me letting go of my hand as he walked towards my ruined balcony doors, "At least I didn't crash through the wall. I'll pay for this too," He looked back at me and gave me a head nod and a small smile before walking onto the balcony.

I ran ahead wanting to see the spectacular sight of him flying off and a sight it was to see. He lifted off with such ease and grace, his cape fluttered in the slight wind and he turned his body towards me and brought his fingers above his eyebrow. He saluted me before taking off. I ran to the railing and watched him fly away.

SEQUELS:

Both stories are happening at the same time. So while Ingrid is sulking in the Lighthouse with an angry and worried Arthur, Annie in 'Scintillate' is about to interview Superman. Annie will be mentioned in 'The Lighthouse's' 'JL' book and vice versa. I might have them interact, but since I write in the first person I might have to choose one or just have them interact and write about it in their own books.

'The Lighthouse' and 'Scintillate' JL sequels are still a ways off. 'The Lighthouse' will have maybe ten to fifteen more chapters until it's completed and 'Scintillate' is set for Twenty Five or Thirty chapters, but that also may change.

I hope you like my story enough to give it a look! And thank you for all the love for 'The Lighthouse'!
