Luke wrote them both and Acts is a continuation of Luke.
It's the rest of the story.

They are both credited to Luke, the physician, and friend of the Apostles and Paul.

some internal and some external conjunctions between Acts and Luke:
-"Muratorian Canon" - c.AD 170 - notes both as works by Luke
-Eusebius ("Church History" 3.4) - c. AD 330 - makes same claim, citing sources outside of the above
-note author's apparent inclusion of himself in some of Paul's expoits ("we did x...")
-natch, both books are in epistolary format, addressed to Theophilus (Patron (i.e. "publisher" of Luke?)

Well, for starters they were written by the same person, Luke, who was also a physician.

They share an author, and are basically volume 1 and 2 of the author's description of the beginnings of the church.

Dr. Luke used his pen and his hand to write them both.
