My concern is that the brake wire connection to both of the turn signal wires will mean that both lights light up when one turn signal is lit.

Is there any way around this other than putting in additional lights for the brakes?

Did I tap the wires incorrectly?

You can't wire them in like that ... you can however for around thirty dollars ... get a converter that will enable you to wire in your trailer lights .... Walmart, Autozone, O'rielys or just about any auto parts store will have the taillight converter you need ... Most small P/U trucks since around '88 have had the same problem and have to have the converter installed as well
