In July, my restaurant and spa reviews came out in the Jetaway inflight magazine (for Jet 2 airways, a budget airline based in the UK), and my Loire Valley articles on the Prince "Jardinier" de Broglie and the Comte de Vogüé (PDF 5.1M) appeared in France Magazine's summer issue. I'm currently working on the latest edition of Michelin's Green Guide to Paris (the English version, of course).
