A lot of authors have written both novels about crime and "true crime" books (e.g., Ann Rule, James Patterson, Douglas Preston). Parts of Preston's non-fiction book
The Monster of Florence were incorporated into the Pendergast novels.
Asimov wrote a ton of non-fiction science books. He even wrote a science fiction short story ("The Endochronic Properties of Resublimated Thiotimoline") based on his own doctorial dissertation. The story was even formatted to look like a research paper.
David Gerrold wrote a book tilted
The Trouble With Tribbles that was non-fiction, despite having written a fictional story/screenplay with the exact same title.
William Goldman's
Tinsel was a novel about show business, and he had several non-fiction books about the same topic.
AI pioneer Marvin Minsky partnered with Harry Harrison on the fictional
The Turing Option.
