I am working on my first novel (or at least the first one I'm actually going to COMPLETE, lol) and I was wondering... Can you use brand names? The two main characters in my story work in a department store, and it seems so bland and vague to keep saying "department store." Can I say Marshall Field's or Neiman Marcus? Starbucks, Coca Cola, etc.? What are the boundaries on that? Thanks!
