It's not a problem not to be knowledgeable about grammar; nobody is born knowing these things. If it is an area you're weak on, though, then buy a decent grammar book and use it for reference while you're writing. It's a lot better to learn how to write grammatically-correct English yourself than to rely on tools like Word's grammar checker.
Finally, I would encourage you to consider publishing on platforms such as Amazon's Digital Publishing service. It doesn't cost anything (except your time) and most people on this forum prefer reading ebooks to reading online.
Finally, in case I'm sounding entirely negative, I should add that I did enjoy the few pages of your book that I read. It's a good story, and you obviously know how to write: you just need to work on the grammar and silly spelling mistakes.

Thank you for the post. I do agree, I am a little weaker when it comes to grammar, but I do think part of it is that I just write too fast. I will have to see if I can't slow down a bit.
