Jacks Age?

What is Jacks real age? In most of the RJ books including the current book Fatal Errors,he is described as being in his mid-thirties.However when I was reading about FPW's YA Jack books, they are set in 1983, and state Jack is 14. That would mean Jack would be born in 1969-1970 making him 40-41 as of 2010. While that coincides with earlier RJ books, shouldn't the latest book describe him as being early forties?

I started a new thread with a timeline...some answers there.

I always thought the 'present day' books were still a couple years behind our actual timeline.

They passed an old woman who was just opening the door of a brown Cadillac. An old man was already sitting in the passenger seat. The car had a personalized plate with the letters “J-U-S-P-R-A-Y”.
“That stuff work?” Israel said to her.
“‘Scuse me?” the little old woman said, clutching her keys.
“The spray. Does it keep them away?”
“Keep who away?” She looked confused.
“I gotcha.” Israel gave her a conspiratorial wink.

I think I have enough information to push that Year Zero was 2008.

Also: "But I can't exactly show up at the local Social Security office and ask for a number. Folks down there will want to know where I've been these last thirty-six years."
