So one book is memoir type: eg How I overcame fear: my personal victory over fear.
The other is straight non-fiction:eg How to overcome fear in 5 steps

How would those two books be targeting different audiences?[...]
Sorry, that was unclear. The two different sorts of writing in that paragraph were referring to your fiction vs your non-fiction (rather than memoir vs other). It's always risky to over-generalise on this stuff, but it seems to me that (at least until you become a well known author) you are unlikely to see much cross-over between those looking at your fiction and those looking at your non-fiction. Indeed, as jandrew suggested, you may find some turned away by the mix.
