Yeah. It's less common now days for modulation to move up a half-step. It sounds better going down a half-step rather than up. Half-steps are minor in quality and descending is more minor than ascending. Try this one. Fmaj7 - Fm7 - B7 - Fm7 - Emaj7.

Most modulation occurs in 5th's. Also 4th's and 3rd's are very common. The sixth is a good option, 2nd's and 7th's are the least common.
