Scott Blum is one of those people. After many successful years as a technological innovator, a critically acclaimed multi-media artist, and the co-founder of the hugely successful inspirational website <a href="http://dailyom.com/">DailyOM</a>, Blum is now sharing magic and wisdom through the written word.  <p></p>  <p>Blum's new books, &quot;Summer's Path&quot; and &quot;Waiting for Autumn,&quot; are written as a series of parables, similar in style to &quot;The Alchemist,&quot; &quot;Way of the Peaceful Warrior,&quot; and &quot;The Celestine Prophecy.&quot; Through a semi-fictional sequence of events and an archetypal cast of characters, his stories awaken us to new ideas, invite us to explore powerful spiritual and healing practices, and draw us into a mystical world where nothing happens by mere coincidence. </p>  <p>For a limited time, those eager to embark on Blum's transformative trek can download the first book in the series, &quot;Summer's Path,&quot; for free -- either as an e-book or audio book -- from Blum's website (<a href="http://www.scottblum.net">www.scottblum.net</a>). </p>  <p>&quot;Summer's Path&quot; centers around Don Newport, an engineer who, after losing his job and his health insurance, learns he has a terminal disease and only a few months left to live. In order to spare his beloved wife the burden of exorbitant medical fees, Don begins to seek a way to end his life that won't further traumatize his wife or cause her undue pain. His answer comes when he meets Robert, a brazen angel of death who offers him a rare and unexpected option. </p>  <p>&quot;Summer's Path&quot; makes history as the first time a major self-help publisher has used a free e-book to launch a new series of books. Publisher Hay House is even offering a chance to win a free Kindle to anyone who downloads the story. Those ready to continue on with the series will have to wait until April 7th when &quot;Waiting for Autumn&quot; comes out in hardcover. </p>  <p>Scott Blum and his wife, Madisyn Taylor, live in the mountains of Ashland, Oregon. Together, they run <a href="http://dailyom.com/">DailyOM</a>: Taylor is responsible for the site's award-winning editorial content, and Blum oversees technology and outreach.
