Rescue novel query out there

I have been terribly remiss about posting.  Probably why I don't get any comments.  My Rescue novel which is entitled A Reason for Rescue is out there in query form at Soul Mate Publishing.  They say a reply of some sort will be coming in four weeks.  I like that as others usually take a year if not at all.  At my age I can't afford to wait that long for a reply.  Four weeks is around the corner.  If it is negative then I'll likely go self-publishing route again.  Agents and publishers take too long to respond, at least most of them.
This story is clean romance with a lot of adventure in it.  Also, there is an old prophetess who tells Julianne when and where Clay will need saving.  The reason is for Clay to travel the world healing people with extracts from flowers and plants from the local areas.  Julianne is an international ambassador bringing world wide peace with her silver tongue.  Clay's degree is in  biochemistry and Julianne's degree is in international relations.  Details of Clay's trips are given for Alaska, Pakistan, Australia and Nikumororo Island (formerly Gardner Island) where Amelia Earhart may have crash landed in 1937.  Brief mention is made of China and Ural Mountains in Russia as well.  This novel is 89,000 words long.  It will probably be my last one as none of my efforts have netted many sales.
